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.
Thanks Ronald,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
