The second artist featured in last weeks class also used a multimedia three dimensional approach with his work. The work though varies from the first artist because rather than leaving the three dimensional aspects in the work on display, he photographs the pieces and shows the photographs as his final work. The gun has a very pop art style to it, which is interesting in the contrast to the nature of a hand gun. The last portrait is also done in this pop art, almost "paint by numbers" style. I like the revival of the popular style and I can see how its adapted to our current technologies and views. The goat on the wall definitely displays the concepts of three dimensionality. The goat is cut out of cardboard and pinned to the canvas, the colors are not natural colors for a goat which makes the image interesting and makes me question if it is meant to be a political statement. I am not sure that if it is a political statement that I pick up on it. I do find it interesting how this artist interpreted the concept of multimedia and dimensionality. Personally I find the first artist more interesting and relatable.

The two multimedia paintings done by the first artist, though not to my taste are an interesting use of material. I like how the three dimensional aspects of each piece are not overwhelming the subject, but subtly enhancing it, like the dark lines that are featured around the iris of the one on the left and the body of the duck like object on the right. I find the way he made the iris of the painting on the left leave the original plane. Its an interesting way to create motion and play with the restrictions of the canvas space. Even though the artists style is not necessarily my own style I like his use of material and use of space, I can see myself toying with the ideas he has manipulated here in my own style.
