Another critique, another Tuesday, another slice of Little Caesars pizza.
Julio's work stuns me with his attention to detail and his obsession with mimicking life with paint. As pointed out by the professors, all his work act like portraits. Even in piles of junk he picks an object of focus and makes it into a character that we can draw conclusions about. It makes me think about how I try and draw focus to odd things in my own work. The little things I pick and choose to put great detail and time into versus the areas that have little thought or effort in them. Ben's work on the other hand left me breathless. His work this semester blew me away and captured my attention fully. His figures are more generalized in the way of what one would think a figure to be. They display motion, feeling, and a sense of space without adhering to the rules of anatomy. This is something I stumbled on in my work last semester and have been trying to understand better moving into new pieces. Instead of accidentally creating my unique figures, I need to find a way to create my own understanding of how the figures should look and feel in their space.
