Artist influnces futher research_Dave Davis

Artist influence:
After the review of my earlier work I decided to expand my knowledge with medium,I wanted to look particularly at my tutor
Link to daves online Art profile(outdated but still relevant):
https://www.saatchiart.com/account/artworks/87652
Unfortunately this was all I could find on line when attempting to look for his work,Below are some of his art pieces that were for sale,



Asking the artist:

Artist Pablo picasso

To continue with my new idea i wanted to look at artist whom would work well alongside it.Looking into (as suggested by my tutor) Degenerate art. i looked at one artist whom i was familiar with and also felt would work the best.This was:
Pablo Picasso:
Known for his crazy,colourful and distorted faces Pablo was never known for portraying normality.
i wanted to combine some of Pablo's style while working on my own.Looking to experiment with distorting faces and taking the worst out of some one and projecting this on them.

Below are some some of his well known (and relevent pieces) that i would like to use in this FMP:



The weeping women,1937,oil acrylics

A new idea direction with my work

After receiving feed back from a tutor it was highly suggested that i take my current idea in a new dircetion(to help up my current level).While at first i felt a little put down with the thought of my ideas not working so well i soon realised how helpful it would be.This feed back was given as my old idea did not have as much weight and would apparently be a little too depressing for people(though i feel some work in the Tate could be perceived as the same but this is yet to be SAID OTHERWISE)
To break down the feedback was given:
Instead of scars look at the ugliness of people (what we have inside of us)Turing my attention to celebrities (people whom will be most know for their ugly ways,mean words, and arguments that would add up to nothing)
It was suggested (and i have already started) to look at articles and find quails that celebrity's had said to each other. One women who automatically came to mind when the mention of mean people came up was
Katie Hopkins:

Known for her excerpts and bad mouthing specially of the fat shamming and common side of life in magazines and controversial TV experiences she was the perfect start to my project.Hated by most and apparently (after researching her) loved by another man namely Trump:

Donald Trump


I felt it was best to start off with the news on trump at this very moment.as seen above Trump is well known for expressing op ions and carrying out on the worst ones. Especially against immigrants and any one whom doesn't share his nationality(mainly the immigrants Mexico).

some famous quotes by the one and only:

All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me - consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

As my work contiunes i will making more and more additions but for now i want to stick to only a few (mainly due to the time peroid i have to complete said tasks in) i will most likely be looking

Exhibtion ideas and concepts

Above a

Ashely peifer exhition


Side note:
Even though my ideas have changed drastically i still feel that i can pull these ideas off so i am still keeping in mind.Maybe steering away for a interactive one.

Above are some of the ideas I had looked into while contemplating my exhibition and how I would lay it out though these are all beginning thoughts.prehapns adding bunting or some other type of decoration to my final piece es and the layout.
I do how ever want to make my final piece well displayed and well layer out for all to see 

As my final piece (or more particularly pieces are in a set of 8 I want to line them up perfectly from the ones I hate the most (that being people ) to the best ones )

Statement from artist Andrea Lofke

Artist Statement

………..once upon a time there was a world: whimsical, humorous, credulous, synthetic, intimate, alien, glittering, soft, innocent and childlike, humming and obscure……….

Materials, found, everyday objects and colorful, decorative supplies overflow the categorized shelves and bins in my studio. In fabricating these fairy-like worlds, I knit, cut, glue, sew, find, draw, construct, select, saw, paint, decorate, carve, combine and mold. Initially I begin the process of the work with a material, a feeling, a color, or a vague image. Obscure, intangible thoughts and sensations collect within my mind and my body and step-by-step the work evolves, develops while making. In my work I am going on a journey, seeking to surprise myself.

There are no words for what I am going to do. Things come together – one stone goes on top of the next – it feels like building.

My work incorporates fictional narratives, dream worlds with anchors in the real, occupy a space between familiarity and fantasy. These environments are systems – overlapping worlds, groups and subgroups that are juxtaposed and united through scale, color palette, form, space, and material. With the continuous pushing and pulling among the elements of this vocabulary, I am creating hierarchies of events and narratives, which compete and communicate. These multiform assemblages result in playful, mysterious landscapes enticing the viewer into visual narrative journeys often with a strong sense of foreboding. I develop pathways for the viewer to travel. I link micro with macro worlds, encourage a sense of irritation, and implied movement of objects, and ask the viewer to relate themselves to the forms and the situations that they present.

I am interested in creating environs in which the viewer experiences personal associations; allowing them to feel, to dream, to fantasize, to be irrational, subjective and intuitive. Specific or vague personal memories are awakened.

The viewer is asked to weave his or her own story and sensations, to believe and to wonder.

Above artist jhas been used as influnce for my exhibiton. Below photos are some i will be using

cellophane work and insperation

Below is the link for the website i have been using for my work.I feel this has helped me while experimenting as it is quite a solid guide line.The matireals and processses are easy to do put are challenging me as i am not do the exact same as what the guide says.I am using the cellopahne idea but i am printing directly onto it with paint (using cut out shapes) this will be then made into a shape or human figure (also adding the human scars ellement into it later)

says.http://www.pinkstripeysocks.com/2014/03/stained-glass-craft-with-aluminum-foil.html

Another idea i have thought about is maybe sticking with shapes but going with a stain glass window effect that would maybe have church or old church look. This is something i will be possibelly developing over time.This would also include thick black lines and have a border below are some possible idea:

futher research into this idea brought up this simple but effective idea:


This guide is actually to make a cellophane house but i will only be making a flat version (and obvioulsy not a house) I will be experimenting with this idea.
i will also be looking for plastic see through sheets(like seen above).


Above are the ideas i was on about before(^)

pop up and pull out book ideas

below are some ideas that have been sourced that relate to what i am attempting to do for my FMP exhibiton. The pull out book effect is one i want to attempt to mimic: Most pull out books i found are children (which is not particularly desirable but is still something i can work with) Other ideas that came up were more craft books that could be made at home or made as wedding cards(these were the things i tried to avoid):
g
This is one of the main ideas i will be using
