Artworks for Freedom

Artworks for freedom is a website who want to raise awareness of human trafficking and modern day slavery with the power of art. They work locally and globally and engaging art in all its forms, they are transforming public perceptions, educating individuals, communities and policy makers, and inspiring action to put an end to modern day slavery.





















To me the most powerful piece of art is the condom photography piece, This is because with each one underneath is the job of the person who payed them for sex. the title of the piece is "DAY'S WORK. "I remember every client, every face. It is like a horror movie." this shows the mental scaring the "client' has on the women/children they sleep with.

There work is very inspiring as it is very graphic and shocking but works in their favour as it gives the audience a wake up call about Trafficking and modern day slavery.

Dominic Murphy is a British artist who works in a very gruesome and dark art way. Lots of his work is based around Alice in wonderland. I like how he uses a lot of colour but in a monotone kind of sense, making the piece look more gruesome and horrible.

It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Adbusters Research

 Adbusters is a website that fights consumerism brands/people using powerful posters that have a strong meaning/story for the audience. Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.
