Influences.

Gilbert and George. 1. )Gilbert and George have there own remarkable style of work that they deliver, they are quite famous for making very colourful frowned upon based content. 2. )They use taboo type content to base their art around, stuff that is usually not really spoken about. 3. )Gilbert and George art lovers that want art to be recognized for its true purpose, to show they feel and what they represent. A famous quote once said by Gilbert and George is. “We want our art to speak across the barriers of knowledge directly to People about their Life and not about their knowledge of art. The 20 th century has been cursed with an art that cannot be understood. The decadent artists stand for themselves and their chosen few, laughing at and dismissing the normal outsider. We say that puzzling, obscure and form-obsessed art is decadent and a cruel denial of the Life of People” 4. ) I enjoy expressing my opinions and beliefs a lot of the time so I feel like in that respect I can relate to them, this is why I feel they can inspire me with my practice.

Christian Boltanski. 1. )Boltanski’s art was featured in a documentary because of how it reflects what has happened throughout his life, that is how he uses art, he uses his life stories to create representations. 2. )One of his most famous pictures is a technique he uses where he reflects the faces of those who died onto a giant white sheet. 3. )Using this technique is called victims where he has projected images of people who died in the holocaust onto these white sheets. 4. )Boltanski is advertising the importance of being individual and not following the standard stereotype of art. I don’t like following the crowd, and by his art I can see he doesn’t either, which relates us. And influences me to do my own thing.
