Contrast

Personally feel it is visually interesting, 

and train me to look at things in more detail,

such as the colour and materials they use.

Pattern-pub illusion

Contrast between two different country

This is London.

This is China.

I SEE LONDON!

My little own thought of London.

Rainy day

I do not like rainy day but here is LONDON!

Umbrella is not always a best friend here.

Scale part 2

This is a view from London Bridge. A Perspective view is shown

from 3D craft  to 2D buildings far away.

Street mesh up workshop

We compared two completely different streets in london,

One is very posh whereas other one is down to the market.

It is easily identify the characteristics when placed all the pictures 

together.

We learnt to show our thinking by tracing the important 

elements from each street rather than telling.

Juxtaposed two completely different elements together to 

form a new image.

I tried to give Chanel a completely different look.

It looks like a old sign painting on a forgotten wall

where a lots of torn posters.

Playful, cheap, ugly Chanel logo!!

Chanel appears in the street market VS High class fried chicken shop

IAN FRANCIS ART

I think the best art is showing your personality and feeling.

I can see the violent and lonely in his work. I like the contrast 

of his work. It easily draw people's attention to the focus

of his work. It is brilliant to see the way he used simple outline

and random patches on his work. Messy and clean lines created 

more ambiguous atmosphere.

Marbling amazing result!!!!!!!!!

This is made by marbling process. It is such a cool and quick method!

Look at how detail and unique each one is!!

Camouflage workshop

  What can be  camouflage in the city?

 It can be something  is hardly disguise by us. 

  It can be something people never pay attention to it.

 It can be something blend into the environment so perfectly.

 It can be something not to be seen at certain angle.       

 It can be something camouflaged to certain people. 

 I have found some camouflaged letters in the street and

 some of them I drew by myself. For example, "The tree man" and 

 "combining the letters with rubbing".

                                                 

Broken letters on the wall

Can you see " I AM HERE?" in the picture?

"combining the letters with rubbing"

Tree man

Make my own typeface

I used letterpress and rubbing to make my own typeface. It was 

very experimental.  Each one has its own characteristic. 

I glued all the typefaces together and tried to tear away

layer by layer. The effect was quite surprising. Although

the letters are broken but some of them still are easily

identified.

cardboard construction workshop

Weather is a big issue in London. Rainy, windy, cold, 

unpredictable. Sunny day is a really big deal here. People

will make full use of it. Now I can totally understand them.

Weather easily affect my mood, so I created this four face

weather character and each face represents sunny, windy, 

rainy day. I placed this character to some places I went.

I brought it to the pub which is one the favorite places among 

londoner. One question has stuck my head for a long time

" why do londoner love beer so much????"
