ART 21

Elliot Hundley

Diverse - Hundley uses multiple mediums and creates 2-D as well as 3-D sculptures. Hundley is very methodical when he is in process of taking images of his subjects however when he is picking scraps for his collage work, he pulls multiple pieces from an envelope and lets the scraps take him on a journey. I enjoy letting your end point be a mystery and allowing your process take you wherever the medium flows. 

Eccentric- Hundleys work is genuinely out of the box, he uses unusual mediums to convey his references of Greek tragedy and classical mythology. His work although unconventional, he has a purpose in his work that can still be conveyed. My perception of his work is in depth research of wanting to discover each detail, and what their meanings were meant to be.

In relation to Elements & Principles Hundley’s work although seeming chaotic is throughly thought out and formed symmetrically with a focal point. He doesn’t have a direction when he begins and allows the art to reach a point as to where is begins to speak to him. For me I see many things within this work, “I’ll get you” for one; is a little horrifying and plays to the negative connotation within the graphics of this piece.this work have the look of a face and sorrow of eyes peering out. To me i feel as though this is the inner voice inside us that is trying to come out and eat at us until we let go or it kills us.

Hundly has many forms of art and uses of medium to create work. The Elements & Principles in this piece is very organic in the way the lines are formed. This work also has use of color to force the eye in certain directions. I can interpret a lot from this work. There is an Japanese influence that i get from this and to me it look as thought there is a great fight happening and we are possible in activism toward saving an oceanic animal. Where we see them suffer and bleed out in the the hopes for survival.
