Michael Craig-Martin

Michael Craig-Martin is a contemporary pop artist, most of his work is made up of modern day objects which have been randomly put together. He uses bright and vibrant colours which strike the eye. His composition is interesting as he manipulates the sizes of objects like the sunglasses are bigger than than the chair which makes it eye-catching because it is different and unseen. He also makes the objects into their most simple forms. If he did not manipulate size and use bright and vibrant colours his work would be boring as we see these objects everyday. What makes his work different and interesting is how he turns these everyday objects into eye-catching pieces of work.

Personal Camouflage



I have been set a summer brief to design my own personal camouflage using shapes that represent my identity, the shapes will come from my personal history represented by a timeline of 5 objects which has 5 different incarnations or generations.
