Who is Banksy? No one knows who he is. He is like an anti-superhero
for art because he making good work of art in the streets but the police does
not like what he is doing. He is a street artist running around the world
painting on the walls showing his work out. Observers have noted that his style
is similar to blek le rat. He used stencils in his work and is inspired by 3D. Later
on he became a founding member of the Massive Attack. He was born in Bristol.
He does a lot of work inside and outside. He does a lot notable artwork like
the one in London zoo in the penguin enclosure and it say “we’re bored of
fish”. There is a lot of notable artwork that he dose you just need to find
them. Most of his work has a theme about what’s going on in the world or looking
at how the background looks like. We don’t know who he is or do we!?

Caravaggio
The title of
this piece is David with the head of Goliath c1610. The medium that he used is
oil paints on the canvas. The size of this painting is 125cm x 101cm. Caravaggio
made this painting in Galleria Borghese, Rome, Italy around about 1910. He made
this painting represent about David and Goliath the story where a David and
goliath. Goliath was a giant that got toking down by David. In his time he
moved around cities and towns a lot because he was in a lot of fights. He
accused of murder and fled from Rome because someone had place a price on his
head. This piece of painting is a portrait. The piece made a dark background to
show the image more bold because the only light you see is the person and the
head making it show out.
The piece
makes me feel like it was a big fight that they had and someone won in the end
of the fight showing that they more power than the other person who lost and
died in the battle losing their head. This show that he lost his body because
it is not with the head and you see blood coming out.
Chuck Close
He painting style is called photorealism. He use images and
photograph, he used ink and a grid technique to enlarge his work that he made.
The size of his work the self-portrait is 102 x 84. The way that he made this
piece the self-portrait is using a gridded block directly on to the canvas.
Right now the piece is in New York.
The piece is made in 1997, I don’t know where it is made and
the person that made this piece is chuck close. This piece is a portrait. It
show that chuck close like to use block of squares in his work.
The work is a self-portrait and it show it is a self-portrait
the mood in the piece show that he does not look happy about what he is doing.
The way I feel about the piece is that he is feeling down about what he is
doing. The texture looks like it is not smooth.
