Proposal

Barbara Kruger was a feminist artist in the 20th century. I want to recreate some works in the same style that she has used throughout her artistic career, using bold messages and clear lettering to communicate a very concise and aggressive message. I think that this is very important in today’s day and age in which gender is becoming more and more of a widely discussed issue.

In order to do this, I will have to first compile some messages that I want to have on the artwork which are clear and short, but powerful. A lot of her work seems to be cutting-pasting and overlaying the words over images which pertain to the message, so I will also have to search for or create such images which evoke the appropriate emotions that go with the message.

Link to “illustrations” (some examples of her work that I want to borrow/steal)
