Subject matter: In my eyes the artist is trying to combine different everyday objects in one piece of art. The mood is kind of shocking because of the bright pink background but it is a positive mood as the colours he used are pretty happy, bright. He probably is trying to show ideas through consumerism. This certain painting is about standing out, being eye catchy. I wrote about this artist because his artwork is so unique from everything else. He uses words and things that we see every day and combines them together. Really important part of his work I think is the colours because they are usually so eye catching and extreme. I think he has his own style and it works really well. He did different things such as first he used no colours in his paintings, just the outline and then he did some with words and the moved on to words and everyday objects together, and then added them extreme colours.
Technique: This art work is painted. This is very simplified because the artist didn’t want to make it confusing he wanted it to be really plain and understandable. The work is flat but there is a 3D draw painted to make it look more 3D rather than 2D. The colours are extremely bright. It used complimentary colours for the draw (green and red). The colours create positive atmosphere. There is no shading or tonal range in the work, it’s just same colours. The texture is flat and plain it is not rough or lumpy. The composition of this image has dramatic angles which are really well seen in the picture.
Artist’s career: Michael Craig - Martin was born in 1941 28th August in Ireland. He is contemporary conceptual artist as well as a painter. After his birth Michael and his parents went back to London however in 1945 the family moved to Washington where Michael got very religious education in Roman Catholic school. He got his inspiration for art from one of the priests in school who was an artist.
