I plan to have a tape cast sculpture reaching into the heavens but unable to escape his mortality. Plan to have swords go though his body and perhaps holding a child to signify his own youth fading away.
Kyoko Imazu is a master with pen and paper. His piece Nico and Miki (the rabbit one) exemplifies his attention to detail in the fur of the rabbit. Though based on seemingly lighthearted subject matters, I get the feeling that his work is hiding something sinister. Thought the rabbit and fish look cute, something is just off putting, it might just be the strange girls that make an appearance in many of his works. His piece ,Pollination, (on the right) is a really creative idea linking humans back to their natural form as an integral part of nature. The woman reminds me of one of Picasso's blue women which he painted curled up with her back to the viewer. His work caught my eye, and I would really love to discover the story behind these ink drawings.
Valero is an award winning Spanish illustrator who has an amazing series of prints. His collection Aerofauna is an interesting take on the nature technology clash, not to mention just plain cool to look at. We built planes and discovered flight, but in doing so the birds lost their wonder, their mystery as for the first time we become able to look down upon them. Instead of making technology and nature clash as one would expect, Doval makes the two work harmoniously creating an almost fantasy like creature. The colors are just stunning and the designs are simple yet elegant. His other works also exemplify his printmaking skills showing off his finesse with pen designs.
Put in a sort of blueish-purple cloud like thing to fill up some space and add some contrast to the orange
Final product, tried to add a rugged 3d texture to the blue thing, and added some other colors to the orange for flare
George Ferrandi's lecture was phenomenal, she seems like a very free spirit who can turn an everyday experience into a work of art. Many of the works she presented stemmed from accidental run in and a spark of inspiration, such as her circus performance piece. Her Prosthetics of Life piece was probably my favorite, especially since it was so rich with hidden details such as using a balloon to imitate a snapshot of a kid's floppy hair. Alone, I would have thought the picture was a great piece, but once she explained the story behind it, the depth of the picture finally stood out. I also thought that her social experiment on the subway was a pretty cool idea. Simply by slightly relaxing her muscles she was able to send a message to whoever she was sitting next to.
