Art Appreciation 101
An artist that goes by the name
of Pawel Kuczynski invented this artwork. Pawel Kuczynski is a polish born
and is political art satirist who draws and paints. He attended The University
of Fine Arts in Poznan who is known to be a painter, drawer and an amazing
graphic designer. His main focus is on satire since 2004 and has been awarded a
hundred prizes since then. This artist
uses a lot of meaning behind this piece of artwork. I believe this artwork is
trying to give of emotion and feelings towards people who drinks alcohol and
how effective it could became after the first drink. The themes that Pawel uses
is poverty, politics, greed and also mortality to express things going on in
reality and to represent something. The subject matter Pawel artwork is stark
and uses the style to do his artwork in a cartoon style way, in a way that
doesn’t seem realistic but close to it. According on his past he uses carton
style to be able to make it interesting to analyze his work. This art shows a
male drinking a bottle of beer, the bottle is red but the more you look at the
middle of the bottle is turns a deep red.
The
bottle is painting red but if you look at the middle of the bottle the bottle
is deep red. Inside the bottle there is a string attach at the bottom of the
bottle and a hook at the end when the beer is coming out of. In the middle of
the string there is a floater attach so as the beer goes down the hook will
eventually reach the lip of the drinker. The artist only represented the hand
and the bottle being drunk by a male as it appears by the features of the face
I could see and the big fingers identifying a male figure. The artist want us
the audience to focus on what’s inside the bottle because of the color that is
use on the middle of the bottle is much brighter then that red on the rest of
the bottle. The artist is giving us a message to pay more attention on what he
is trying to let us know to receive the message.
My personal opinion on this image is a man drinking
a bottle of beer and it is a specific type of beer. There is a string in the
bottle that is connected to the bottom of the beer bottle and a hook on the
inside going towards the drinker mouth. In the middle of the string inside the
bottle there is floater that controls the hook getting closer to the drinker
mouth. Feel as in if once the drink goes
down little by little the hook is getter closer to hook up on the drinker lip
to attach him on the bottle like a fisher hooks fish while fishing to be able
to catch the fish and bring it in. This made me do a reality check and I notice
the message that I took from his artwork, when people drink and they get attach
to it and become alcoholics. The hook represented the man getting attach to it
and is not going to be able to give up the beer and if so its going to be hard
for him to let the beer go.
