By All Means Necessary

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

    • Paint the (in blue) on the back left shoe

“Earisu no te-ma”
