Dion Hitchens

Dion Hitchens bron in year 1973 nationality , Chinese and maori, Hitchens  is  a contemporary  artist, his theme in art is mostly   through engagement, collaboration with other artists and  creating wonderful art.
For Dion's art talk, he showed us his  art work he  had created with collaboration with other two atists  , James Ormsby and Bill Rilley. who are also contemporary artists, james i s  actually a postgraduate  in painting  but although he has  engaged  himself with  a variety of media. What  i like about Dion Hitchens , James Ormsby and Bill Rilley's art work is that its not some art work you don't see everyday, its rather interesting  in my point of view,because Im sure not everyone can create art like them. James Ormsby, his work with the z2+c he presented to our class, really got  me thinkingm what is that mathematical equation got to do with art, but when James Ormsb y explained that this equation is symbolised a form of an art piece and when i tried researching it myself, i got to the result saying that this is the infinite beauty of the Mandelbrot along with photos.









This work created by Dion Hitchens,  James Ormsby and Bill Rilley ,the diamond installation  is one of my favorite art works they have  created, this really dazzles  me, just starring at  shinny  objects catches my eye. I admire how they took so much time and effort  on attaching  each piece  all together  by using stainless steel, an laminated glass (Marquette). The installation  of the recycled  paper, drawings ,cardboard,  and many other objects and materials. the way  Dion placed each objects,  sort of random. as for  my opinion on this installation art piece , i f  find pretty dull  but  when you take photo of that installation, is really does look like a really nice fascinating  piece of art.  It is interesting how anyone can come over and exchange objects or materials  or just donate a very interesting way of making an installation  nice and creative.

  1. Thanks Ronald,

    I think you only just got to the heart of the matter in the final sentence - the fact that these installations were interactive and involving the community. Which means that the artists actually have very little control over the outcome. It's a mixed bag - some works they control, like Dion's diamonds, and other works, they don't. Anyway, this was a good attempt to describe some of their works and your responses to them.
