Tell me what you think of my work...

Hi,
i'm a26yr old contemporary artist from Belgium and I could use some feedback so spill your guts and let me know what you think of my work.

that's all for now, folks

 

That first pic. freaks me the fuck out. But you've got a pretty unique style accuring there. Maybe you could make something out of a combination of animal bones.

 

i really like the gas mask ... curious about the medium you used ... mostly it looks like ceramic ... perhaps ceramic or maché with some porcelain heads and fur with the saw? very interesting stylings. the first one ... i could decide if they were supposed to be smashed cigars or male members or what ...

 

Very Good... i've never seen things like that, but i like it. you have a lot of creativity. Sorry for my english...

 

i really like the 1 that looks like a gas mask

 

those long "creepy" things..they're not supposed to be male genitals...

 

My sculptures (and i also make paintings and collages but there wasn't enough room to post those) are made out of secondhand objects such as worn shoes, old toys (stuffed animals mostly), clothing, parts of tools and machinery etc...
The technique I use is something I invented myself, really.
I harden the materials by using paste, acylic paint, varnish etc.

 

I forgot to mention the titles of these works.
- piggy
- the great white
- leaners
- miner
- best of both worlds
- mammoth
- bongo
- grounded for life
- amnesiac

They're not in the right order...let's see if you can put the right sculpture and title together...

 

Yeah its funny - I like it - art should have a bit of humour to it
do you do any serious stuff where you make political or social statements?

 

oops..damn

 

Well yeah..you're right. There's more to me than this.
These works are just a small fragment of what i stand for.
I've got different kinds of work:
First there's the work you see displayed here which i would like to call 'my weird poetry'. These works are a bit dark..they're filled with drama..but hey, there's also some humour in it.
But then again: you haven't seen my second kind of work which many consider to be very funny..it's also a bit naughty really...things like dead bambi's head on a platter, fred flintstone and barney driving around in a ferrari scoring some chicks, a portrait of judy garland in the wizard of oz saying 'if you think this tornado sucks, go see liza'..you know...something in between silly and mentally ill..i would like to discribe them as 'neo-pop'.
And then there is my work where I comment on contemporary art, politics, invironmental issues, social stuff, over-consumption etc...you know..'all good and bad things about todays society.
I'm working on a website at the moment..i wish i had more room to store pics here but most of them seem to be to big anyway.

 

I really dig that. keep it up man.

 

Man I love art like that. It really evokes feelings in me that are hard to express. I can't describe the way it moves me, only that it penetrates my soul is a way. Thanks for the postings.

 

thanx trekker...
I'm so glad it has that effect on you..It's actually ment to do that.
I guess this means i'm not completely insane

 

It doesnt come across as something someone insane would make at all. It is just very origional.

 

i'd like to know if my work reminds you of the work of other artists.
and if yes: wich ones?

 

Cool. I like them a lot. The first one was kind of startling though.

 

I love the gas mask one. I have a gas mask fetish though, I think. The one with the saw blade is effectively disturbing... almost looks moldy.

 

Personally I find them uncomfortable to look at, maybe just creepy, but they are very unique and I have never seen anyone else do this! Its good that you have your own style cos it makes you stand out and your work becomes instantly recognisable. Keep it up! =)
