David Choe : An inspiration towards my practice

CONTINUING WORK - 2ND YEAR CHELSEA COLLEGE 

This is an artist that has inspired me through my new series of work in my current practice. His name ladies and gentleman is David Chow. He is a Graffiti artist that has made a name for himself after his commission with Facebook in which he took shares instead of cash, because of Facebook's success, his shares are priceless. 

His work however are too priceless. 

Ive always loved colour, in these pieces, the overall use of colour and colour combinations creates nothing but positive energy when viewed upon. Vibrant and energetic. 

He always has a main subject composed into the image, but surrounded with other visual elements 

His style is so free, variation of movements and use of colour interest me

He is the main artist i have been looking at at being inspired by his work i have decided to create some of my own. 

I continued doing what i did from my last piece. Concentrating on the Graffiti/Street art in London Markets and also unnoticed places such as alleyways, corners and remote locations. 

My first piece was "Bricklane Market #1, 2014" 

Personally i think these pieces work really well. There is a strong depth in the image, and colour use is strong and vibrant. Very aesthetically pleasing to the viewers because it catches their attention. 

 These two pieces i made at similar times. They have a similarity through the use of colours and composition of images, and the balance between text and imagery. 

Good or Bad Idea?

This is one of the ideas i had, but didn't end up pursuing.

I decided to do test pieces on photoshop before

Here i am looking at the item;

What condition is it in?

How has it got to that stage?

How did the item end up in that location?

How people have interacted with it before, during and after its use?

Any wear, tear, damage done to it? 

Bringing the item from an image out onto a stand for people to inspect it. 

see it for what is really is. 

Asking questions with no real answer

The water bottle is rotated differently, have to watch out for this. 

If i were to do this, i think i need more interesting items, location varies but item is the key to get people's attention, and the more thats happened to it, may be more interesting to view
