Post 2 samples of his art. Answer the following questions for each piece.
Title of the piece?
Describe the color that he utilizes. Does he use any particular color scheme?
What do you notice about the artwork itself?
"Race Riot"
He uses the colors of the American fag to bring attention to the issues regarding race in a nation which is self proclaimed to be built on freedom.
The image itself is simply a photo repeated 4 times under 3 different color filters, yet it still easily reveals its meaning.
Similar to the previous image, he uses somewhat a red/white/blue color scheme, however the color used seems to emphasize features of the portrait.
While the medium and the style is very simple, the image looks photo-realistic.
