Pasadena Chalk Festival 2010

I took these photos at the Pasadena Chalk Festival in 2010. All these artworks were done in pastels which I absolutely love working with. These are among my favorite images that I took at the festival.

Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol’s art is very popular these days. Most of his artwork derives from pop culture which is widely praised among today youth. However, I find his artwork very repetitive and dull.  His work is based manufacturability, destroying one of the key aspects to great artworks, originality.  One of the reasons I believe that most people find his artwork so pleasing is because of his color selections in the artwork.  Notice that he tends to use a lot of complementary colors which is very pleasing to the human eyes. The use of color intermesh with today’s pop culture icons will appeal to people more than other artworks.

Banksy

I know I’ve already blogged about him, but I really like this piece.  It’s a voice calling out for a new structure in our society, that the status quo is not acceptable.  We need reform!

Michael Kirby

Another artist I recently found is Michael Kirby, he is a street painter. His work often depicts an arial view of different subjects on the pavement. His work can also be found on walls of historic buildings.   

Alfonso Ossorio

When I walked into LACMA in Los Angeles, this was the most shockly memorable artwork I'd ever seen.  I absolutely love this piece and its symbloic meaning, that one day humans will enter the period of extinction like so many other animals in the world.
