Gerhard Richter is mainly an abstract artist whose work tends to use a vibrant green and yellow and is applied with a pallet knife, Richter experiments with using negative space by using masking tape over the paper which when taken off after being painted leaves a shape with straight lines and creates its own negative space. Richters work really interests me due to the use of vibrant colours which instantly gains my attention and how it contrasts with the dark colours which he uses as a background colour and is the negative space which the other colours are layered on top of.
Catherine Story
Catherine Story's art is very geometrical and her paintings involve painting models as lego stylized characters in shapes of blocks and straight lines, I found this style was extremely different and unique which is why it caught my attention, what else intrigued me was how she used multiple mediums and also made some ceramic 3-D sculptures of people.
Cornelia Parker
Cornelia Parker's work involves hanging objects with wire generally in a cubic shape, to me this gives the impression that it was one thing and exploded and it captures the moment of which the debris are flying away, each in its own separate direction. I find her work to be extremely interesting due to every single angle you look at it from is a brand new abstract picture in a way. Later in her work she experimented with the use of shadows with her dangling sculptures and I found that this added element gave extra depth to her work.
Guerra De La Paz
Guerra De La Paz are two cuban artists whom are uneasy with the amount of perfectly good clothes that end up in landfill sites daily so make art to speak out about that. They use clothes and express them in different ways, I find their art to be amazing due to the deepness and significance behind it, such as our self destructive ways being expressed by turning clothes into the shape of a nuclear bombs mushroom cloud, or making nooses out of ties.
David Mach
David Mach is a sculptor who explores an enormous range of materials with his work, however most find his best to be that which is made out of coat hangers, making huge work of animals and people to incredible detail simply by positioning coat hangers over one another and twisting abad cutting them when necessary.
Yong Ho Ji
Yong Ho Ji is a sculptor whom makes his art out of old car tires, the detail from it is amazing and impresses me with how scary and intimidating he can get them to look. Yong usually designs his work of fantasy creatures or exaggerated predators in the animal kingdom, which could be a significance of the dangers cars could have, both with crashes but also to the environment.
