One of the art exhibitions that I visited over the summer was Banksys controversial bemusement park, which displayed his own and over 50 other artists work.
The beauty and detail behind each individual work of art was astonishing, each piece had a deeper meaning as well as portraying current issues and problems in the society we live in today. Instead of sugar coating the major problems and issues that surround us, it made them into very intriguing pieces of art which made you question the world that we live in today.
I believe that the main reason Banksy's Dismaland appeals to me so much os the sheer raw beauty and ugliness of the world and art combined. The most interesting and meaningful piece of art that i came upon was the posters by WastedRita. This artist plastered walls in somewhat conteroversial love and sex sayings, break-ups and emotions. The simplness of her art is one of the main aspects that interested me, as well as the emotional value behind the work.
In my own personal work I like to focus on the emotion and meaning, there is fire and emotions, it makes you stop and think. That is what I aim to have my own personal work represent.
