Text and Image (John Baldessari)

John Baldessari took some pictures of himself pointing at things, he then commissioned some of his friends to paint those photographs and then he put them in an exhibit.  He credits them in the picture.  
Here is a blank, plain white canvas with the words "Pure Beauty" on it.



Text and image can be as simple as 4 words or something more complex as with Banksy and the likes.  But sometimes less is more.  It helps the viewer make more assumptions about the piece.

I'm not quite sure how I personally could use Text and Image in my animations, but I'm sure I will think of something.

One part of Baldassari's work was how sarcastic the text would be on some of the pieces.  Pieces such as this one:

 I just think that I can relate to him because I'm also incredibly sarcastic, as you know by now.  I mean we're on our 3rd year together.

Kate Steciw uses hybridity with the clean, clear cut frames for her distorted looking paintings. 
such as here


I kind of think that her artwork is a kind of statement on society encouraging creativity, but then wanting to box it into a clean and organized file, you know. Creativity is good, but only to an extent.

The painting looks distorted and even disorienting because the frame is so cookie-cutter. I could use something like this effect in my artworks especially because my theme is dreams. This is VERY dream like and interesting. In my current animation that I'm working on, if I wanted it to be more dream like, I could use a texture that had this same sort of effect on the house, which is very clean looking.

I learned that hybridity can be a use of a bunch of different lines. Like how we learned about the meaning of different lines back in the film unit of Digital Media.
