Surrealistic Artists

Erik Johansson-
          Erik was born in 1985 in Gotene, Sweden with two older sisters on a farm. He got inspired from his grandmother who was a painter. At a young age he got  a passion for online games that enter him in another world. At 15 years of age he received a camera from his parents. With his love of another universe began to combine his pictures with unrealistic things. In 2005 he studied Computer Engineering at The University of Technology. He began to post his work online and he started getting calls for his work. Today he works with Google, Adobe, and Microsoft.

Ellen Jewett-
          Ellen was born in Markham, Ontario. At a young age she began to work with three dimensional objects making all different types of things. She studied Biological Anthropology and Fine Art at Memaster University. Her education was her groundwork and no work full time in a studio doing all different types of sculptures. All of her pieces are handmade she only uses her fingers except when she paints she uses a paint brush.

 
Artist Name- Erik Johansson
Title- Untitled
Date- 2012

Description- A kid holding a picture of water and the water is flowing out the frame into a bigger part of water. It has a boat about to fall off the from into the bigger part of water.

Analysis- This piece is horizontal and has your eye look through the whole piece. There is a lot going on but it is shown very well and not cluttered.

Interception- This piece tells a lot of how this kid may feel. I believes it mean that the kid may look like on thing but has a lot that can flow out like water. You may never know what one person may be thinking and this is what this piece shows.

Judgment-  In the end Erik did a great piece having the water flow off the frame and showing a powerful meaning.

 


Artist Name- Ellen Jewett
Title- Untitled
Date- 2013

Description- This is a sculpture of a turtle but not any normal turtle it has a lot on his back that he is carrying. There is trees and birdcages all on the back of this turtle.

Analysis- This piece is three dimensional and shows the struggle the turtle is having carrying all these things. You can tell by the face of the turtle and how the back is angled.

Interception- I believe this piece tells a lot about an average person of how much they have to do. Everyone does not go throughput a day with anything they are carrying around maybe not physical but everyone has something they have on there mind. It can be a lot like this turtle or not much at all.

Judgment- Ellen did a great showing the turtle emotion and put time in making it look real. I love the meaning because I can relate with a lot on my mind and on my back.

As you can tell these two artist are nothing a lot but they both do great work in there field. Erik works with photos and make them look like nothing before and makes people think about how things can be transformed. As on the other hand Ellen does sculptures that show animals and what there environment may be with all the trees and leaves. These two artist are nothing alike at all but are both one of the best in what they do.
