In the case of both artist, when I look at their works they both cath my eye very quickly. Each uses an out side of the box method to convey their message. Christophe Huet appeals to me in the way that there is always on particular part to each of his works that is so oddly different and creative that it makes you look at it closer. Koen Demuynck appealed to me because he is able to take people, animals, and landscapes and transform them into unique works combining every day objects. Both mens works were inspiring because I found it was easy to relate and connect to their works. Both men used simple objects, nothing fantastical, or strange to convey their ideas. The big idea behind both Huet and Demuynck's work is the intermixing of simple everyday common things, such as people, animals, landscapes, electronics, etc. to form a sole idea and message.
After exploring both mens work's a few questions, and arise.
1) Both men seamlessly combine two or more images to create one main image, is combining too many images a bad thing?
2) Why are they so good at what they do?
3) Do certain kinda of images work better together as opposed to others? (Ex. landscapes + people vs. something else)
These men have become inspiration for my work because they have shown me that simple images can be transformed into captivating images that express complicated idea. For my final I am going to be looking to create something full of meaning yet simple. My midterm project dealing with money was simple but had the capability of conveying a powerful message. I am unsure yet whether I will continue with my same big idea or look for a new one. Some stylistic components that caught my eye from Huet's and Demuynck's works were they way turn a simple, uninteresting photo into something that people desire to look at, and finally I take their proper choice of images when combining them is something else I take from analyzing their works.
