artists research

now I have changed my direction in my work on freedom I have been told to look into the work of Robert Rauschenberg.

ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG
                                                   Robert Rauschenberg was an all round artist with work in many medias, from prints and paintings to collages and pop art. his work was mainly noticed in the 1960s with his work on the apocalyptic decade as people called it with his collages on the death of J.F.K and the Vietnam war.

FMP change in direction

so far, my fmp project has gone through many states of change. it started off as me basing my project on punk music and the punk rebellion through bands such as nirvana and green day and how they expressed their thoughts and feelings on freedom. now I have had to re think this as it was at a dead end so I re directed my work to how youth use education to their advantage to gain freedom and how some waste it thinking that freedom will come to them without them earning it, I will also be looking into how the older generation view the younger generation and how they believe our freedom will be taken away by the ever growing use of technology.

Final day of cardboard city

Here are some shots from our final day on our cardboard city project where we made a stain glass effect on the windows and made a street scene with all our cardboard building's we had designed at cut up

David Choe

David Choe is an American figure painter, muralist, graffiti artist and graphic novelist of Korean descent. His figure paintings, which explore themes of desire, degradation, and exaltation, are characterized by a raw, frenetic tone that he has termed "dirty style." In the graffiti world, he is identified with the bucktoothed whale he has been spray-painting on the streets since he was in his teens. 

I have chosen to look into David Choes work as he reminds me of Banksey, with how he uses the streets and influences around him but does what he wants which ties into the theme of freedom. I like davids work as it is original with the many medias he uses and very different to the everyday art you see around.

Marc allante

Marc is another artist i found whilst researching freedom, his work is not based on freedom but to me it reflects the movement of living things and how his use of coloured inks showes the freedom of the art and design world. 

It is amazing how he is so good yet he is a self tought artist, his main type of media which he uses is coloured inks, his work is inspired in both form and style by his western and eastern influences. Merging traditional Chinese inks with European watercolour and pen techniques in a contemporary style reflects the fusion of his Chinese-French ancestry and brings it into a modern art form.

Dean Crouser

One of the artists i am researching for the freedom project is dean crouser, born and raised in Oregon and his love of fishing, camping and the outdoors can be found in the expressions of his art.

When it comes to painting, he tries to keep his work loose and simple. "I am always striving to say the most with the least and like to keep my work fast and spontaneous. My goal is to capture the beauty and simplicity of a scene in a manner that people haven't seen a million times before." 

His work is mainly based around wildlife such as fish and hummingbirds and is related to freedom through the painting in which he does, in one piece where he painted a hummingbird the brush strokes to me represent the birds freedom, like a sort of dance with the way the bird looks to be moving and the rainbow of colour that Dean has used to capture the amazing beauty and freedom in which the bird shows.

Freedom work

This is my little sketch book which i have made from the 63 pages that we were given. In this sketch book i will create pieces on freedom but from my view on freedom, from all the aspects of freedom and the positives and the negatives of freedom and how it plays a role in our lives and dreams
