Michaël Borremans (born in 1963 in Geraardsbergen) is a Belgian painter and filmmaker. His painting technique draws on 18th century art. His earlier drawings, many of which belong to the collection of Van Imschoot, are often used as a basis for his later paintings. In recent years, he has been using photographs he has made himself or made to order sculptures as the basis for his paintings. When I looked at his drawings, I thought most of his drawings were kind of depressing and creepy. and most of his drawings were all humans. I personally didn't really like his drawings but it was a new and interesting explore!
Huang Yong Ping is a contemporary French visual artist of Chinese origin. His work basically combines many media and cultural influence, but is particularly strongly influenced by Chinese traditions. His works are not paintings or drawings anything like that but object-like artworks. The first work of his is made of concrete, reinforced steel, animal skins, paint, fabric cushions, plastic, wood, and cane seat. This work is very elaborate and it really looks like real animals. The second work of his is also amazing that how he comes up with the idea that is very creative and unique. The third one has a feel that it's from the ancient century. His art works were very different than the other artists I've explored. I actually really liked exploring and looking at his artwork!!
Vik Muniz is a visual artist. In some of his drawings, he used jelly and peanut butter which was very fascinating. He mostly used everyday objects such as sugar, wire, thread in order to create his artwork. He used reinterpreted a number of Monet's paintings. the one drawing that captures my eyes was the painting of Sigmund Freud because I am a psych major and definitely learned about him. Vik used chocolate to render the image. very creative and it looks like real sigmund Freud.
