I was looking through High Frutose art magazine and the work of Nicholas Di Genova caught my eye. I am pulled to his artwork because it is similar to the style of drawings I do. He has a wide variety of highbred drawings that are executed as if they are observational drawings. plainly said he's he's a taxiderrmist of drawing. I like the way he stretches bountries and combines animals and mechanics which normally wouldn't be viewed in a typical fashion. I like how he takes an identifiable creature and puts a twist on it, by surgically grafting objects together. He has alot of focus on simple parts of the creature that make it look like the drawing was constructed. I think the artist visually illustrates power in the piece I posted. What's more powerful then something such as a gun, that can kill you? Nicholas took the power of this object and combined it with and animal.
Love the idea of highbred drawings between observational. It has a strange cohesion that is both odd and intriguing. Or maybe intriguing because of the oddity?
ReplyDeleteI like the blend between the mechanics of the gun and the green space and organic figure that would be an animal.
