By All Means Necessary
I looked at these 3 artists work:
Gail Dahlgren- “Let Me Show You How to Do It”
Jesse Lindhorst- shoes
Nathan Strauss- “Earisu no te-ma”
What I have noticed about:
“Let Me Show You How to Do It”
- Acrylic
Smaller panels/more intimate- Almost complementary colors with the green and purple
Smooth for the most part- Dramatic lighting on the electrical cord

- Poorly wrapped cord representing herself
- Extreme high lighting on the cords
- Uses reflective colors as well
- Streaked backgrounds
- Very realistic
- Deep shadows
