Sexism vs Racism

In this urban Art form from Kenyon, its with in the eye of the behold. Its to test personal thoughs, to be human about the audiances jugdement in what they see based on the world scepticism and stereo typing. The simplist forms leaves the viewers mind to fill the gap, that it is not about the work and what it intlaes but rather then its ability to intercept a more reform answer to the unkown word at the end of his Question/phrase.

Gallery visit: Shane Cotton, good cop

"Theory of drifting"

Out of all the work viewed from the galleries, I found that Shane Cottons' work was what stood out.


I think I liked Shane Cottons' work as the other galleries were very minimal with what was displayed and did not have much to them where as Cotton has more experience in this field and I have seen some previous works before. I think because Cotton is more proffesional in this field of work, he knows what to do. I like how the work is real dark but has some light trying to break through the clouds which changes the shade that the clouds are but the ship figure remains a deep black. This work looks free and "out of the box" rather than having all the sharp points and edges which I find is something that really works well within Cottons' practice. With regards to the ship figure, it almost appears to be a silhouette.

IMAGE FOR ESSAY MAHA - LET THEM EAT CRACK

This is an image of immense scale
I have included the cars and people to illustrate the magnitude
LET THEM EAT CRACK is a political statement by banksy about how coldly the corporates in America treat everyone they are symbolised by the rat with the neck tie holding the breifcase
the text has ben written in blood and there is blood on the hands of the rat (corporates).The rat also shelters himself with an umbrella which I beleive is a comment on the bush administration bailing out big corporations in the US effectively insulating them from the reccesion.
It is obvious that banksy has alot of contempt for corporate America.
the money falling out of the breifcase suggests greed.An interesting fact I found out is that rat is also an anagram for art.
