some artists that i love

These first two pieces are by James Jean an Asian artist which Emily introduced me to,thanks Emily:)I feel that the first piece is relatable to my project as I'm investigating tattoo artists.The second piece is titled "the crayon eater"I love his work because his subjects are depicted in such an unusual way.His use of colour in ho first piece is set in blocks and looks almost like computer characters.


This piece is by Paul Wright an English artist.i took interest in his work because i think my painting style isn't too different from his.Splashes of colour rather than blended tones.This piece is called emerging head.The mediums used is oil on wood panel

These last two pieces are by Raymond Pettibon an American artist which I feel is somewhat evident in his work,the language used in his dialogue.I like this artist in particular because of his somewhat menacing subjects and use of dialogue which only add to his work allowing a story or scenario to be presented!
