This artist makes art that is conceptual. You need to think about it to understand what he is trying to get across. You can see it on two levels. One is just the picture or portrait that he is drawing. The other is to look at what he is working with for materials. Why did he choose those materials and not others? Who is this person, and how do the materials relate to who that person is and what they do in their lives? Each is carefully selected to make a point.
For ex. Mother Teresa is often refered to as a light in the dark, one who is beautiful and gentle and kind in her work with the homeless and the sick. He makes her portrait out of dandelions which are yellow and could mean light, are beautiful to look at and what could be more gentle than a flower. Compare that to the portrait of a fire fighter, burned into wood that is constructed to look like the framework of a house or the picture of a homeless man painted by walking all over the picture, his feet leaving the paint that creates the portrait.
Scroll down each picture to see what he was trying to say about each piece of art, and to see the video of how it was made.
