Artists that have inspired me - Olly Moss

His artwork has become official movie posters DVD covers, video game posters, Broadway posters, and much more. I feel like as long as I can remember I’ve loved Olly Moss’s artwork it’s just the name too. Olly Moss, it’s so iconic in a way. I discovered Olly Moss when I was in middle school and I really attached myself to his artwork. He’s an English graphic design artist who does a lot of pop culture-inspired artwork, but mainly movies. He’s also dived into comic books and music as well as other promotional forms of artwork. He has a signature style of using silhouettes as backgrounds, and also trick imagery and illusions to create very visually interesting fun, and unique posters.

Keith Haring makes me like contemporary art.

Keith Haring (galeries-bartoux) For the longest time, I despised and did not understand Modern Art and Contemporary Art in general. That's one of the reasons I'm taking this class. I love art I love history and by taking this class I'm realizing why contemporary and Modern Artists are the way they are.

I truly did not understand how something so simple and something that could be done by literally anyone could be seen as a masterful piece of artwork.       That all changed when I found out about Keith Haring Keith Haring's artwork at its surface level is not that incredible technically speaking it's flat there are not that many dimensions he uses a similar color palette throughout all of his pieces and there's virtually no fine detail.  that all being said

I think there are very few times in life when we are constantly in awe of everything in our environment and it's an ever-changing landscape of emotion and constant interest. I went to New York City in 2021 right after I graduated high school. I went with a couple of my friends to see a concert and explore the city. I had really never been away from home for that long in a place so busy truly the city never slept.  Our concert was delayed due to weather so we got to stay a few more days which didn't bother me at all despite me not having any money to prolong my visit anymore.   In that time we went to the MET twice and it was some of the best memories I have of being in New York. I saw some of the most interesting diverse and creative works of art that I have ever seen in my life. The Metropolitan Art Museum is one of those museums that stands out as one of the greats and one of the greatest art museums there is. So I'd like to share with you some of my favorite pieces of ar
