Well it looks like Caroline Shotton has done it again and produced some amazing new pieces for Autumn 07. I really think her work is continuing to improve and the images are fabulous.
Unlike some artists she is not intent on simply rehashing old ideas/images and making a ‘quick buck’ but she is intentionally adding a lot of depth and imagination to her work and developing the ideas behind them.
‘Cow-Moo-Flage’ & ‘Dirty Cows’ are 2 great examples, with her imaginative use of background colours and effects and also the tie in with the name of the picture itself:
‘Cow-Moo-Flage’ – with the cows bodies hidden within the the background and the ‘Dirty Cows’ – being covered in mud, a typical scene no doubt throughout many English farms!
I find her work to be fresh, funky and vibrant.
Sculptures are a new idea from her for 2007 and ‘My Fa-Moo-Ly’ is the 2nd one produced by Caroline, allowing her comedic cows to be appreciated in another touchable medium! I like the fact the sculpture is the same cows taken from her box canvas limited edition of the same name. I am sure the sculptures must be very appealing to those who own or liked the accompanying box canvas (also called ‘My Fa-Moo-Ly’)
I think Caroline Shotton will stay ahead of her ‘field’ for many years to come, I couldn’t resist that one!
thank you
Russell
