I was very impressed in the work done by artists Gregory Crewsdon, Teun Hocks, Jeff Wall and Cindy Sherman. Each artist had a very different style or personality towards their work and utilized very different techniques. Teun Hocks' photos were self portraits of him in a somewhat surreal situation. From swinging on a chandelier to floating on an iceberg, he had a very quirky and comical nature about his work. An aspect which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Jeff Wall and Cindy Sherman both displayed a lot of work from the 70s and 80s decades yet executed their pieces in very different lights. Sherman had a somewhat feminist view to her work displaying either herself as various heroines in Untitled Film Stills or by demonstrating the female representation of what society wants to look at. Jeff Wall did a lot of work with street photography. Two of my favorite pieces from him are Milk and Doorpusher.
I saved Gregory Crewdson for last because his digital images really blew me away. His creativity with overlapping images and combining scenes and situations never failed to amaze me. I loved how I was able to feel sort of a dreary or uncomfortable emotion when I viewed pieces such as: The father, Sunday roast, or Ophelia. His Twilight and Beneath the Roses collections were stunning and I am really glad I got the opportunity to find this artist. Picture above right is Crewdson's piece from Beneath the Roses, Ophelia.
