Last year I visited the Frieze Art Fair however, it was not only until now that I found these two images from the exhibition on my laptop. I am not entirely sure of who the artist is, but I think these images are so fascinating and hold quite a strong resemblance to the work that I have been researching these past few weeks.
From looking at these compositions, it's clear to see that the artist has used two very contrasting photographs in creating these images- half of which seems to be a small boys head- and the other a naked women, with her legs sprawled open in each composition. As unusual as it seems, potentially the artist could be suggesting this connection between sons and mothers, or men and women. However, whatever the potential meaning of these images may be- the artist is defiantly provoking a great sense of uncertainty for the viewer- but these images are also extremely abnormal and surreal in their layout.
Like many of the other artists works who've I have researched, these compositions also hold this very unusual, abnormal perception of humans- contrasting large heads with much smaller bodies- and I find this experimentation with human features very fascinating. Most importantly for me, I feel that art is a lot more interesting, the more abnormal and surreal it is. In terms of the progression of my work, I would like to keep playing around and experimenting with these contrasting body features, just like this artist has done so.
