Far too contrived for my liking.
I can't even be bothered to look at it! |

I see the reference to Marcel
Duchamp and the 'ready-made' artistic movement, however this
modern art movement was now almost one hundred years ago, and
this artist as missed the very concept of modern art, that it
must be new and progressive. However I like the anarchistic
attitude behind this piece, it says to me 'Fuck off Rusta, I
can't be arsed with your wanky art competition.' This aspect
is very interesting. |

This composition is only weakened
by the artists explanation. The interpretation of the piece
by the viewer is far more important than the intention of the
artist. You have potential artist 2, have confidence in you're
ability to communicate through your art without feeling it necessary
to explain your actions to a third party. To deepen the relationship
between yourself and your art, you must become more intimate
with it. I suggest dipping your penis in emulsion and using
this as your medium, if you can't find emulsion around the office
I'm sure you can improvise. Go on - try it!! |

2nd place:
Rusta

I'm immediately reminded of
George Groz by this satirical masterpiece, that is made more
potent by the reference to war and its political comment. The
alluring shape of the cats tail and its cheeky smile suggest
an overwhelming desire for anal penetrative sex. This successfully
communicates the base nature of man. |

This communicates energy and
motion with the purple lines breaking up the space into well
judged portions. The contrasting textures and shapes suggest
those found in nature or a landscape composition with a degree
of abstraction comparable to Franz Marc the German Expressionist
movement. The use of purple creates syntax and rhythm. Oh my
god - I'm going to cream my pants! Overall an excellent composition.
This artist has potential. |
Congratulations Jenny. Well done indeed.
