Project 3 - Further Research about Artists

Laura Adel Johnson


Jen Stark

For this contemporary art gallery, I have chosen two artists who deal with strong contemporary art works. Jen Stark and Laurar Adel Johnson both are well known for sculpture works. But Jen Stark also produces some installations, drawings which expresses her thoughts and feelings very freely. These two artists produces very bright works but in idfferent way. Jen Stark expresses brightness by use of colours in her sculptures, and her materials are very common material that we deal with in our daily life. All her works are like illusion and maze like works. On the other hand Laura Adel Johnson produces bright work by use of light bulbs but not too big light bulbs but the light that we use in occasion like Christmas. She also uses different colour to express the characteristic of the human figures. Very common point about these two artist is that they get inspired with immediate environment materials and produces their own unique art works.

I personally think that these two artists will give strong inspiration to the community in Newtown and they also give individual artistic mood to the art gallery. The use of colour relates back to the relation of different culture, individual clothing style, music, individual characteristic and more. Also the use of light illustrates the relation of dark and bright time of Newtown. What I mean by this is even in the day time and night time there are different type of activities to do in Newtown and it will be still bright even though it's in night time.
