Blog Assignment #1



Artist : Adam Rix
Adam Rix has produced lots of graphic works and won many awards. He also has worked with clients such as Nike, BBC, Absolute Vodka, Cream, and Dr. Martens. This image was used for a Nike commercial. Many people think atheletic sport is just physical sport which is far away from art. They think other sport such as figure skating or syncronized swimming are more similar to art. But, coping and pasting a photo of a female athlete, he created a very rythmical and dynamic pattern. Also it is very artistic! This image was a great art work for an advertisement because it has a great power that can make people love athletic sports and jogging.



Artist : Kimiko Yoshida

Kimiko Yoshida is a Japanese photographer whose works are about feminism. This photo is one of her works that shows a woman who is colored all red with some gold. Red and gold colors are representative of Chinese communism which limits people's freedom. The lady in this photo keeps her head down, and closing her mouth. She cannot tell anything, express her feeling too. One of her hand, there is a small book. It seems like she is saying to us "I cannot do anything because of this". This work shows us the sexual descrimination in Japan.
