Jason deCaires Taylor

Jason deCaires Taylor (born 12 August 1974) is an English sculptor specialising in the creation of contemporary underwater sculptures.
Jason's work is blissfull as it is Located underwater, it seems almost oblivious to the outside world. HIs intention while creating these underwater sculptors was to eventully create atrificial reefs for fish to Thrive in.

Gustav Klimt


Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was a symbolist painter. Klimt's primary subject was the female body
Gustavs work is quite vibrant and unique, it is almost alwasy gold, silver and black. His work has a very cultural feel to it, and can be quite emotinal sometimes. the way he layers many Sybols and scraps together make each piece different and gives them a almost alive feel.

Eric Zener (born in 1968)Works  entirly on water based images, Looking at his work, It's hard to tell what materials he used to create these amazingly detailed pices, But I would guess Oil pastals.

his work almost always consits of a women swiming or diving amoung bubbles. His work comes off as blissfull and peacefull and I hink always works perfectly.

Pablo Ruiz y Picasso

 

Known as Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) As one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, His work is widely know around the world.

Picasso's work on first glance can seem disorganised and almost confusing, but on closer and more in depth study it can begin to make since. For Example, The first image below shows what would appear as a sad woman, but this is not all it is, when I look at it, I notice the white patch in the centre, to me this looks like a scrunched up piece of paper the woman is using to hide her face. By looking at the eyes and thinking what could be behind the paper, I think she is happy, but does not want to show it. Perhaps someone who was holding her back had died.

Francis Bacon



Francis Bacon

(28 October 1909 – 28 April 1992) was an Irish-born British figurative painter known  emotional imagery. Bacon's figures typically appear isolated in glass or steel.

Bacon usally painted head and shoulder portraits, More often than not in these paintings there is little to almost no ephisis on the background behind the figure. His Iconic distorted faces create an distressed atmoshphere among all his work.

The pices I have picked out below are two very good examples of Bacon's work.
