My 3D sculpture

Inspired by Richard Sweeney I created a fashion piece to go over the shoulder by using different media like paper, string, wire, canvas, tape and black bin liner. The shapes included in my piece are mostly inspired from the work of Richard Sweeney. His work is also unusual as I have tried to create that element in my own work also. 

Richard Sweeney

I find Richard Sweeneys work amazing as he makes sculptures entirely out of paper, I like the different shapes included in his work. It's interesting to look at and also elegant to look at and can be used in many different ways. 

Kehinde Wiley

I love the fact that Kehinde contrasts violence with elegance as he uses background of elegant wallpapered patterns to differ from the foreground which involves a typical stereotype of a 'gang' member. I love the colours involved and the patterns. The idea that contrasting elegance with violence is interesting as it could be sending a message to say don't judge people as they could be very different to what we assume. 

Stuart Mcalpine Miller

 

I love how Stuart Miller uses art to send a message out that the women in magazines arnt realistic, he represents this by combining models with cartoons. I love the contrast and colours that he has used in his work. 

Stuart uses a range of different vibrant colours and techniques in his work. 

Julie Mehretu

Julie Mehretu makes large-scale, gestural paintings that are built up through layers of acrylic paint on canvas overlaid with mark-making using pencil, pen, ink and thick streams of paint. Mehretu’s work conveys a layering and compression of time, space and place. As trying out marking on a larger scale with different materials and over lapping each layer I like this art work as it is done with feeling and expression which Is a personal way of creating a piece of art. I also like the composition of this particular piece and the variations of different marks and lines. 

Jennifer West

I like Jennifer Wests art work as she produces different marks and uses different materials on photos from films, this includes movement in her artwork and experimentation. I like the bright colours with the still real life photos making the piece of art look unrealistic and transforming the mood of different photos that she has used. 

Rebecca Horn

Rebecca Horns work focuses on her movement. She creates her artwork like the one above by strapping long sticks into her fingertips and freely drawing and marking out her work. I like the colours and different marks this piece has. I also like the composition and how the top of the piece is very busy contrasting with the bottom of the piece which is almost plain. I also like the different variations of her artwork and technique of how she paints after testing it out myself it is transforming feelings/expressions into a piece of art.
