After the field trip I had so many thoughts in my head of what I saw in the art gallery. The art piece that caught my attention the most was called “Black Water” which was an editorial by none other than Daniel Zender. This piece was created digitally for the New York Times Book Review. The reason I am so fond of this great work of art is the way it sort sways back and forth like water. I like the showing of the dark character is reflected along with the trees. Daniel’s artistic style focuses on the dark side of life but she puts humorous twists in her work with color and composition. Its what keeps his work well balanced.
There was another piece of his work that was shown in the gallery that I almost missed until I realize their almost related to each other. This piece is called “Embarrassing Photos of Me, Thanks To My Right-Wing Stalkers”. You have a person trying to hide in the dark but the paparazzi exposing the subject. Whats a little different about this piece is that Daniel is spray painting to bring out a flashy camera taking effect in this situation. Its really breathtaking.
Justin – Really interesting analysis of Daniel Zender’s works. Very good observation of the Point of view both works were capturing and how that effected the overall image. Thanks so much for sharing. Are there aspects of either piece you could see applying to your own work? What can you learn from Zender’s use of POV or use of Digital Media that could help you improve your own? NICE Job!
