artists we love :: nancy jimenez / yellow orange wonderland
Since antiquity, fashion and art have served as reciprocal musings, equipping creative artists in both fields with revived modes of viewing, interpreting, and becoming inspired. Throughout my twenty year career as an Art Director, I’ve found saliency in locating unexplored and possibly overlooked visual parallels in the global discursive mediums of sculpture, painted works, illustration, design, architecture, and fashion. Examples of these visual parallels may be cited in my published work, as well as on my web-site, Yellow Orange Wonderland.
Artists We Love :: Barbara Kruger
Barbara Kruger has been one of my favorite contemporary American artists mostly due to her courage to not only question but also make strong statements about our society, media and government. I first learned about her work in a visual literacy class I took in college. It served as a great example of how art, graphics and critical thought can be utilized as a means to wake us up from the sleepy stupor that plagues us at times.
