Text Notes on Charles Ray

3 Questions

1. What is the purpose of his art?

2. What kind of mediums does he use?

3. How does he relate to our current project?

I think Charles Ray is cool. His art is a dark humor. I look at a lot of his stuff and think how did he do that. The longer I look the more I see. It relates to my personality because I like to look at art that is entertaining sometimes, not just some big political meaning. It’s a breath of fresh air from all of these serious artists trying to push a very concerning topic.

Comments on Questions

  1. The purpose of his art is humor. It entertains.
  2. He uses all kinds of mediums. They all seem 3-d though. He uses mannequins and sometimes even uses himself.
  3. He is a good artist to look at for inspiration on our current project on humor.
