When faced with the task of explaining and or exploring a contemporary artist which inspires and influences my work I find find myself always drawn to those who frequent the current pop culture scene - those who explore fashion or story telling (like cinema and advertising). One particular artist that particularly comes to mind is David Lachapelle. I find his work to be completely inspiring, being that it is a mixture of fine art, high fashion, commercialism, and story telling. His work can stand alone as a piece and work for advertising purposes.
I have chosen Lachapelle as the fist artist to represent myself for the semester because I would love to push my art into a similar direction. I particularly enjoy using props, making people look beautiful (even if it is an odd beautiful) and I always find myself making images that tell some kind of story.
Also, on a side note one of my favorite elements about his pieces are their vibrant colors.
