For this artist post, I wanted to research an artist that has as a purpose to convey emotions with his pieces. I found Eliott Hundley, an American artist who creates very dense pieces that uses artificial connections between the pieces of his works of art to provoke an emotion from the audience. He uses objects or images that are part of our daily routines to create the stories behind his pieces. He also includes photographs of his friends and family in his artwork, which makes these pieces more emotional for him. He makes paintings, collages, photography, and sculpture. I am particularly intrigued by his collages, and sculptures, which seem to create an environment and talk by themselves. Also, I find fascinating that he makes his images more personal by including his family and friends to participate in the making process.
