The Art of Marilyn Manson

It’s really hard to describe why I like diving into the deep end of life and also art but through the journey of life I am finally coming to terms with it. Marilyn’s art conveys that same sort of feeling. Wanting to enjoy it but something deep inside keeps you from doing so. Not saying it’s bad but that is what I enjoy about his music and art. It’s interesting how water colors can bring such beauty to a canvas but let it run a bit and the picture totally changes. Link

The Art of Angela Fraleigh

Questioning social constructs of beauty, class, gender and role play I am interested in the complications of desire, what power people have available to them and how they use that power. These images serve as a means of escape from one’s personal histories but also provides a space to question these idealistic scenarios. Drawing on dramatic moments from literature and framing the romantic stereotypes that are created these images are complicated by obscured power structures. Ambiguity conceals where authority lies in these familiar images disrupting our understanding of these hackneyed relationships while bringing into the foreground the continual power struggles still fueling our political, social and intimate relationships.
