Saatchi Gallery Online - Artists

I have been looking through the work of the artists who exhibit on Saatchi's online gallery for the past month or so and have found several whos work I really loved for different reasons. I have been collecting infomation and images from these on my desktop and now I have finally got round to putting all this crap online! Finally! So here it is...

Number One - Aleksandra Mir

- Uses teams of workers to produce series of drawings on huge sheets of paper, using materials such as marker pens.
- From NYC
_ Work brings to mind the 1960's using themes such as the baby boom and the space race and taking the form of retro text.
- Work is often political and also looks at propaganda and journalism.

I like this work because of both its appearance - Of news pages etc but slightly wonky and unique, and because of the text and ideas used. Take a peek...





Number Two - Elliot Hundley

- This artist works with collage
- His work is described as "`Dreamscapes". They are full of nostalgia and expression.

I like this work because I feel I can relate to it. It looks like my personality - busy and messy and colourful. In fact it actually physically looks like my room, bright and cluttered and full of daft trinkets and useless, pretty, sparkly, cheap junk. Plus I love a bit of nostalgia!
