A true Washingtonian, Jeremy Blake came to experience the rich and vibrant culture D.C. has to offer. As he sees it New York and London were always hot topics for Washingtonian kids. Then there was the art and the cultural arena of Washington DC where works to and from New York would find themselves in the exhibition halls in downtown DC.From a more visual art perspective, his works look like works of a rebellious school kid distorting his vision of reality through his colored oil crayons. He achieves the same goal through his use of media tools. His use of vivid colors remind me safe of a safer variety of graffiti art. Since the graffiti is respected for requiring a)skillful drawings b) unusual location. Graffiti is considered as an art crime, for they invade the city walls while they become source of inspiration for some people. For me it is this part of his work that I see as poetic.
Having a brief background in graffiti art, I see his work through a different lens. Seeing these images reflected on the walls and see their transition will probably make me feel very excited. I really want to use this method in my project. Glowing, diffusing colors with upbeat rhythms will no wonder bring about a good end-product.
