Emma Mclellan and Xavier Meade and another artist that relates

THURSDAY 1st SEPTEMBER 2011

In this lecture we were fortunate to have two artist, one was an male and the other one was an female, they come to present there Artwork, they are both do print making but there ideas they showed to us are not similar from what I expected. The male name is Xavier Meade, an poster designer, his print making way is pop art. His project was to respond to the idea of myths and legends, creating twelve posters that tell of legends and contemporary political myths, challenging our complacency with war, the planet, colonization and life. It tells a story allowing to tell their tale in Maori, spanish and english.

Emma Mclellan

The female Artist name was called Emma Mclellan and her ideas were about animals mutation. The reason why Emma choose to use animal as her art practice is because she was influenced by animals behavior and human behavior, especially patterns, wallpapers and fabric. The technique that Emma uses for her practice is painting and a print screen with papers and panels, and layers of paint than masked it with patterns(victorian dress patterns). What I love about Emma artwork is that how she explores her curious hybrid animals and duplicate her paint practice on the board.

Sarina Brewer

I also found another Artist that relates to Emma artwork, her name is Sarina Brewer an artist and naturalist, and she the deepest respect for animals too, the same as Emma Mclellan, but the difference between Sarina Artwork and Emma Artwork, is that both artist practice are different. Emma dose screen printing, but Sarina dose sculpture, using animal parts. (My view) "What I love about Sarina artwork is that her work looks beautiful but scary at the same time. I don't hate what she dose but her artwork gives me the creeps, and its also freaky when i look at the animal sculpture. But i really like how the animal mutated its pretty awesome and amazing.
