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.
