Mining the MIA

 

            For my installation I would use " The Pine" by André Lhote, "Pastoral Landscape" by Claude Gellée, and The Bodhisattva Kuan-yin. I would use these art pieces to show how Buddhism works by taking a crazy situation and calming it down. Its having peace with ones self. I would like people to understand this as they enter the room where my instillation is. The room will be dark except for the three spotlights shining on the 2 paintings and the statue. "The Pine will be on the left, the bodhisattva in the middle and the "Pastoral Landscape" on the left. I would like this to show a picture with a verity of colors and shapes, which almost makes it chaotic painting. Then it comes to the bodhisattva which represents Buddhism and it can help you reach a state of nirvana which leads you into the "Pastoral Landscape" which is a very calm and stable picture which I believe represents happiness.

 

 

 

OAD Post modern

Pop Tart By D*Face

This is a picture made by the artist D*Face. He has taken the pop art style of Andy Warhol and put his own twist on it. I believe this is a post-modern image because it takes Warhol's Paint of Marilyn Monroe and Makes its look sort of demonic. It has been a growing theme in new graffiti styles to post-modernise one art to make it stand out from the norm. D*Faces Art is post modern Because he takes popular products,people, and art to(deface) or recreate into his own design. He is also know for his propaganda towards the authorities. such as his recent "Call in sick" works displaying pop art style graphics telling people to call in sick. This image also shows a genre jump that is seen in a lot of post- modern art, i it takes the pop art style and is actually preformed with spray paint which i popular with D*Face as he is a street artist. another thing that makes this post-modern is that he is talking Marilyn Monroe and making her a monster, and by doing this he give new perspective and meaning to the picture.
