Favourite work


My name is Cameron Moore I am a first year design student at Victoria University of Wellington. As a project we where given an artist in which we had to research and explore a specific piece of their work, then reinterpret the image into a pixelated format.
"For the love of god" is a contemporary piece of artwork that has been created by Damian Hurst. It explores the contrast between death, beauty and the superficial reality of life. Using this artwork as my precedent, I have recaptured the dominant feature of the skull and manipulated the composition of the skull into a pixelated image. The success of this image is formed by using the techniques of layers through colour and toning to form depth. The development of individual squares to collectively form a complete symmetrical image of the skull help show, the reference to Damian's original piece of work in a 2 dimensional view. It also explores the piece of work in a context that is expressive oppose to the physical interaction of the skull itself.

Hey, your water colour image is awesome, it seems so precise and almost looks computer generated. Way cool...
