Artist #21- Meret Oppenheim

Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) - Meret was a German born Swiss Surrealist artist and photographer. She is most known for the teacup and spoon (one of the most recognized surrealist objects) that was sculpted out of fur. Most of her creations and sculptures have been unfortunately lost. Many of her pieces consisted of everyday objects arranged as such that most of the time would allude to female sexuality and feminine exploitation by the opposite sex.

Self-Portrait

Self - Portrait - This is a self portrait that I'm creating for my art 107 class. it's pretty open other then it has to be a silhouette of some sort, has to show some sort of repetition, and it has to be representational. I've decided to have a silhouette of myself with paint splatter all over my face (symbolism of being an artist), and then i put a jacket on myself; with one half of it being a running jersey (symbolizes my running career, achievement, profession), and the other half of the jacket is the way i typically dress (symbolizes myself, my fashion). this artwork is still a process as you can see but for repetition I'm going to glue random bible scriptures as my background to show that I'm a christian religious man. as my self portrait i want all my viewers to get a glimpse of who i am and what i do.

Wildland Fighter

Land Fire Fighter - another tattoo design i drew up for a friend who is a Wildland Fire Fighter. He was pretty specific on what he wanted, so i didn't have too much freedom with drawing the design up other then the writing, the initials "MD", and the fire. But other then that i think it turned out really well, and my friend loved it. I just can't wait to see after he gets it on his skin!

Jesus Face

Jesus Face - tattoo design i made this semester for one of my friends. all he said was that he wanted a design of Jesus, so this is what i came up with; a pixelated Jesus face.
