Experiments and Frances Trombly

Pictured is a small experimental sculptural work made using a polystyrene bowl and chips. They are painted various bold colours. The idea is that they resemble sweets and are eyecatching. I am trying to appeal to the childlike feeling of an overwhelming sense of excitement and greed at seeing 'pretty' things. The idea is of course subverted by the fact that the 'sweets' are literally made of plastic.

This piece of work was inspired mainly by Frances Trombly, who uses bold, primary colours and childlike imagery. I am particularly referencing his compositions that seem to resemble the aftermath of a party or fair. His work can be found at: http://www.francestrombly.com/
