Tyler Shields (Edited)


I do not have a favorite piece of art, but I have a favorite artist. Tyler Shields is an American photographer who takes photo to celebrities. His artwork is based on love, war and hollywood. I first hear about him when I saw a picture about an handsome actor with a power saw on his hand. At first, I thought it was so agressive, but I started to search more information about the photographer and I realized that the most of Shields work were based on love.

I have to say that I do not like so much his violent photos. For example, He took a photo of an actrees in a room where the walls were stained with blood, so I was shocked when I saw that kind of art.

Anyway, I like him, especially the way he does "collisions" with two photos.

Orlan (Edited)


Orlan is a very interesting artist. I have to say that I love this woman, even when the most of my classmates say she is crazy. The idea of being paid to give a kiss is awesome. She gave us an excellent example of what men think about women. I think this performance change a lot her life. The way she expressed the male chauvinism was so clear and I could understad everything about her thinking.
I did not understad why she got fired after that performance. She is an artist and I think people have to respect her.

However, I disagree about narcissism. I think our body is not an object that a person can change like she did. God made our body to respect it and to do the right things.

The idea about exhibitionism is the most interesting thing that caught my attention, because the word's exhibitionism is not just being naked on the streets. Exhibitionism is to express ideas or feelings, so it is just she did with her performances.

She expresses her ideas so clearly and she makes a great job with her photos and performances that I would love to see her work in an exhibition or even in a musseum. So I have to say that I consider her as an artist. And also, I like the way she looks.
