Nathan Pine – Task 8

For the appropriation task I simply chose to copy multiple images which had a surrealist theme to go with the atmosphere of my piece. I decided to do a surrealist piece as I have always been inspired by artists such as Salvador Dali who’s artwork has the potential to transport the viewer to another reality. This idea of creating this dream like state in the viewer fascinates me. I created a background of a variety of vivid watercolours, simply because I enjoy these shades of colours and it does help in making the image as eye catching as possible. I decided to use plain black drawings because these would  then really contrast boldly against the bright colours of the background. There was no chosen artists work I decided to specifically replicate, all my images I used were discovered from Pinterest and I could not find the artists who had created each piece of the artwork I chose to use. The shapes on the left hand side where the only images I created myself, as well as the background. I have always enjoyed copying drawings that have captured my attention, usually due to their unusual style, so to me this task came quite naturally.
