Research

For this project, I looked towards surrealism as it is a style in art that feature the element of surprise and unexpected juxtapositions.

African Sonata – Vladimir Kush
Redwood Cutting – Vladimir Kush

I also aimed to use anthropomorphism for this project as it is an easy way to make things look more interesting and visually engaging.

The first artist I researched on was Eugenia Loli, courtesy of Joy, I like how she merges different elements of different ‘styles’ but is still able to make them work and come together as a whole.

References

Joy had initially given me the idea of replacing the power plant chimneys with cigarettes, which I thought was pretty cool, I went on to research on anti-smoking posters and other similar posters, they subvert the meaning of the object in focus and lets the viewer think about the meaning of the object in its new ‘environment’.
