Claes Oldenburg
Claes Oldenburg is an American sculptor known for his installation pieces. In his pieces he makes them in various sizes. some being fairly large scale and some being the size of buildings. He also uses a number of different materials to create his works. The pieces that i enjoy the most from Claes Oldenburg are his vinyl pieces. What i like about them most is that he takes an everyday object that is often associated with being a hard material, for instance a car. He then uses the vinyl to make them from a softer material. What this does is that it makes them look almost like an empty shell of an item as the fabric sags making the everyday item look like some strange object.
Ilya Kabakov
Ilya Kabakov is a russian born, American based artist who creates environments with his wife Emilia Kabakov, using an array of found objects. The main factor that i like about Kabakov’s works is that they all tell a story. Within his pieces he will go into immense detail about the characters or stories he has created within his work, by adding small little things into the pieces to help show his stories.
Edward Kienholz
Edward Kienholz was an American artist. he creates large scale installation pieces. They are very dark and creepy pieces that he creates. He adds in a lot of detail to his pieces and takes you to another world where things aren’t quite how they should be. What i like about Kienholz works most is that they’re all things that don’t quite make sense, i also like how dark his works are, and that they are quite often interactive for the viewers.
