The second contemporary
artist I've chosen is Karen Knorr. An artist based in London and her
photography jumped out at me because it mostly consists of exotic
animals in man-made, posh settlements. Just the idea of having a
tiger in your bedroom is brilliant! She does it with many different
animals in different places and what looks like focusing on how they
react to their environment. The animals and background are sort of
both the main feature since they both pop out which I imagine is very
difficult to achieve in such a fashion. It's almost like she is
trying to show the viewer that even though the animal looks like it's
in a strange place. That place could of once been the same species of
animals habitat hundreds of years ago. So in a matter of fact they
are returning home. The colours are all very potent and strong and
jump out but all work very well together which would take a lot of
thought and preparation. Something I will have to learn to do in
order to achieve this desired effect in my own work.
