Hair project 2012

This picture that i chose was taken by Vinesh Kumaran. I chose this picture because of his solid staunch look or vibe that he gives to the viewer. Theres no mid-ground in the portrait just foreground and background. Theres nothing special about the lighting in this portrait, the lighting to me doesn't look artificial it looks natural. The viewpoint is straight on and gives the viewer the impression that the subject is going to fuck you up. The first thing that i looked at when i saw the photograph was his tattoos because there bold and they stood out, then i looked at his beard because it looked like a tiger on his face.

Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh's painting of Doctor Gachet showed the viewers soul and emotions. Which is why i chose this artwork to research. It's just oil on canvas but the colour and lines are there to express the essence of what people saw. You can see why Van Gogh painted Doctor Gachet. it's a little intense on the colour but the colour is very expressing. it looks as though the person in the painting is sad and alone. Mean painting!!
