WEEK 19

This week we started our own project based on the 3 words that we have chosen. I decided to choose Man Ray, reflect and grotesque. I found this three words really inspiring. I admire work of Man Ray and his surrealistic aesthetics. I thought that the connection between that words might be interesting. During that week basically, I was focused on research. I experimented a lot with different media trying to find the best point what will connect my research. I started by visiting the galleries, such as Tate Britain where I visited the impressionist's exhibition. I haven't found there much for my project, but it was worth seeing. Then I moved to Tate Modern, where I went to Modigliani and Rachel Whiteread exhibitions. They were so good !!! I was inspired by the methods of Modigliani's painting and I decided to use it in my final outcome. Rachel Whiteread was really interesting because of the simplicity of the shapes in her sculptures. She is using industrial materials such as plaster, concrete, resing, rubber and metal. My favorite part of research day was definitely visiting Rosie Wyle exhibition in Serpentines Gallery. Her childish style of painting in connection with the adult mind, and the mature themes of her works is incredible.
