Erwin Wurm

Erwin Wurm (born 1954) is an Austrian artist born in Bruck an der Mur / Styria. He currently lives and works in Vienna and Limburg, Austria. Since the late 1980s, he has developed an ongoing series of "One Minute Sculptures", in which he poses himself or his models in unexpected relationships with everyday objects close at hand, prompting the viewer to question the very definition of sculpture. He seeks to use the "shortest path" in creating a sculpture — a clear and fast, sometimes humorous, form of expression.

Nicola Bolla

The Italian artist Nicola Bolla loves working with brands like Swarovski to transform objects and symbols of sinister and violence through pieces of art with the use of crystals. Creations to discover images in the following section.

Bruce Holwerda

I choose Bruce Holwerda for my weekly blog because I like his natural progression of how he sees things. Also, I like how he blend fine art with illustrative cartooning yet also letting the drawing and concepts grow and evolve from painting to painting.

Norman Mooney

Norman Mooney was born in Dublin Ireland in 1971. Norman makes works that are at once physical and metaphysical. His works explore the elemental and cyclical synergies of nature. Materiality, pattern, scale and experience are key concerns within his practice. Norman makes sculpture, interior and exterior installations, drawings and works on paper, his methodology is one of experimentation and process with materials such as smoke, glass, steel and resin. Although he has made various of works, I personally like his spiky works better. It not only catches people's attention for the shapes, but also make people wonder how he made without hurting himself.

What do you want to do?

Why are you thinking about this concentration?For now, I think my future artworks are gonna focus on human's effects on environment (or animals). I'm gonna make different animals (with different materials) that shows how the changes people made in environment persecute their lives.
I already have my thought about the first project. I'm going to use the rings on cans to build up a deer that get stabbed by a knife. The rings on cans symbolize the changes in human industrial evolution and the knife symbolize the effects that harm the environment or animals.

Paragraph 2 What do you want to do with this major?
I will want to focus on product design in the future. In the past, I wanted to do furniture design. But later on, after I have read more magazines and go to more exhibitions, I have more interests on product designs.

Paragraph 3 What projects do you think you can do next semester to show that you are interested and able to work in this area of art or design?
Basically everything in this world associates with product design. As I mention in paragraph 1, I already plan out my future project- can ring deer. For that project, I want to show people that the things that people usually are not aware of (can rings) can form an artwork.

I read the article (the link above) on New York Times. Although the article isn't talking entirely about Guillermo Kuitca, the picture beside the article attracts me hence led me search the artist on google. The pictures above are just few artworks in one of Guillermo Kuitca's series of work. The reason these artworks attract me is their different layers of works create movement and some of the colors in the artworks stands out because they are complementary colors. I like how the artworks don't seem messy with theirs complicated layers but make some parts
