Fine art artists

After a very long powerpoint skimming the surface of fine art artists, I needed to tell the world (that includes you) about the three I found most interesting.
Here we go:

Cell (Eyes and Mirrors)
1) Louise Bourgeois
I found her very interesting on the powerpoint as I found that her art was beautiful and had a message, like her bullet series.
Looking her up, I found Cell a captivating work. It is very oppressive and it feels like it is some sort of alien watching you. This dystopian, modernist gothic image appeals to me.
 
 
 
 
2) Sophie Calle

The Hotel, Room 28
What I like about Calle is her attention to the details of others lives. She explores stories and events. Things that have happened and could have happened. This seems magical to me.
Her very clinical way of displaying it makes me think of the modern age, but also leaves more of the story for you to make up your mind.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3) Erwin Wurm

Performative sculpture

Finally a fun artist to make me smile. Wurm does fun stuff like wearing a chair. I particularly like this image because it is so surreal and bizarre. The beast is two people messing around in a jumper.
It also reminds me of those snuggly jumpers for couples which in my opinion are never anything less than hysterically funny.

 



 
And that's all folks.
