Artist Post

Adrian Todd is a vector artist From Norway. His style has a realistic look as well as the flatness that is characteristic of vector art. He does not only do vector art but is also a skilled oil painter. This can be seen in his style of drawing.

His work brings life to these portraits in a crisp and refreshing way. Most of his work is created using the gradient mesh tool. this tool takes any shape, turns it into a mesh that then can be colored and warped with a gradient to show mass and volume. using the combination of the gradient mesh tool with the flat vector shapes he creates this hyperreal image that has a bit of contrast in style. this contrast between the flat fields and the gradients give his portraits a kind of movement and pop. Another key feature is the harmony that the facial expressions have with the image style itself. For example the top one has a sooth almost soft to the touch face yet an aggressive hair and background. The bottom one on the other hand is all attitude, in her body language as well as his use of flat color fields.

Artist Post

Solomon "Sol" LeWitt was an American artist linked to various movements, including Conceptual art and Minimalism. He was born on September 9, 1928 and died April 8, 2007. He came into the art world in the 1960’s and since has had his works in galleries and museums all around the world. He worked in many mediums including painting, drawing, sculpting, and photo, just to name a few. He worked in the beginning of minimal art which is a movement most strongly seen in America in t e 60’s and 70’s where all the distracting elements of a work are taken away and the essence of the work becomes the work itself. He was also there for the beginning of conceptual art where the work is more about the idea rather than the content or form. So here his installations are a good example of this. He believed that the work of art was the idea, so he wrote it down, made a set of instructions, and then the final work of art was usually not at all done by him but excited but the museum putting up his show. He was a pioneer of his time changing the meaning of drawing and creating a new idea of what the idea of art was. His way of connecting the idea of a work to the actual piece itself was very different and really got people thinking about the artist himself and what it meant to have that artist touch. He helped to push the thought that the idea of a work can go beyond the work itself.
