This was created by quentin jones she is an illustration of mixed media and collages and has done work for loads of different company's including "rush magazine" and "urban magazine" he has built up quite a status and become well known.
This piece of work was created for 125 magazine and is called god save queen, it was done in September 2011, this would be for a fashion portrait and I think the amazing colour with the use of the 3 separate colours but they all work so perfectly together I love the use of the paint with photography and the added images keeping it true to its collage form the blending of the colours and the use of computer graphics and program's such as illustrator and photoshop bring it all together.
I have chosen to analyse this piece of work for the fact of the collage and how the artist has used layers of photography and paint to create the effect. I also like the simplicity of the collage as some artist can over crowd but I like the simple but interesting use of how the objects have been placed with the paint. The key elements are definitely colour and photography.
I looked at this website to gather more information about how she works and also to help me understand how she creates her art work http://think-work-play.com/quentin-jones/ this showed me her unique style and also showed me other work she has done and how she likes to go about her work.
"quentin we salute you but we are just a bit envious of you" was a comment about her and her work that was left on her blog and it just shows how much people enjoy her work. The theme for this piece I think is futuristic because from doing research into the magazine she did work for they have a very fresh look and also have the theme of it is very future and this collage fits that exactly as it breaks the rule of the typical collage with not layering but keeping it smile and effective.
She found inspiration for her work from when she was younger with her modelling career and from that wanted to take fashion typical straight down the line beauty and turning it on its head.
I was inspired by this work because of the use of it being in a magazine I was inspired to find out more and also having never seen a collage like it made me want to find out more and this has inspired me to take typical ways of doing things and changing them also has inspired me too do more designs that could fit with magazine work. When I first saw this image I was amazed by the thought that had gone into it and the use of graphics with photography and paint I loved it and also love the fresh look it gave. It made me want to try it and that's why I like it so much.
I like everything about this piece the use of colours and the use of photography this also reminds me of the work of nikki Farquharson with her use of photography. And graphics.
