Dominic Murphy Artist Research

Image
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. All his artwork is very realistic which works well in his favour as it adds more of a weird and creepy aspect to the work. It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Unjust police killing black people in America

Image
In recent events we have been seeing more and more news reports on police officers in America killing men without the right to a public and fair trial. Here are some facts I found; • Police killed at least 102 unarmed black people in 2015, nearly twice each week.

The Exhibition contains lots of art pieces that demonstrate how political activism drives a wealth of design ingenuity and creativity that are against the standard definition of art & design. The exhibition redefined the political and technical challenges that have been developed from the late 1970s. They recreated different disobedient objects, such as bike bloc, lock-ons, tear-gas mask e.c.t , they would re design them to represent when they were used in a weird yet similar way to the originals. In groups we had individual disobedient objects to research about, my group had to research Lock-on devices. Bike Bloc : The Bike Bloc was created by welding two bikes together and putting in speaker, so when they were protesting they would be heard further and louder. It also holds a computer to play their speech on. It first originated in Copenhage...
