Damien Herst
A common theme in Damien Herst’s work is death, which can be clearly seen in a lot of his work done with animals split in two, or preserved. I particularly like his work with skulls as he uses different materials to create a different view on what the skull is. For example his piece “For the love of God”, where he covers a human skull with diamonds. This also strongly relates to the project where materiality is used to change the object.
Alex Grey
Alex Grey is a very psychedelic and spiritual artist. He does a lot of work that relates to the naked human body behind the skin, only muscle. I like a lot of his work where it slowly morphs throughout the painting, always leading the eye somewhere else. Just like Damien, Alex Grey does some work with skulls changing the way you see them buy changing the appearance and materiality. He uses many skulls that are very rounded and brightly coloured, giving a different view on the skull.
Jason Deamer
In a lot of Jason Deamer’s work for Pixar you can see that he creates strong characters by exaggerating features. I especially like his character designs in the Cars movies. He uses this exaggeration to create almost organic and fluid with strong personalities portrayed through this shape. He makes something that is ordinarily mechanic and lifeless become alive and organic.
Patricia Piccini
Patricia Piccini does many organic sculptures, ranging from bizarre hybrid animals to mechanical objects turned organic. Her sculptures where she has created organic objects made of scooter parts are especially interesting. The way she can manipulate the shape and form of something to make it appear as something completely different.
