TEUN HOCKS

 I enjoyed Hocks whimsical style in a very thought provoking way. He challenged me to search for a message he may be trying to convey. I found his technique of using a photograph and painting the surface of the image to change the tone and texture very unique. Hocks use of color and subject matter is pleasing to the eye, yet isolated as the backdrop goes into infinity. Hocks features himself in his work which urges me to reflect on what narrative his images signify in conjunction with his self portraits. His compositions are simple with a fresh comedic undertone. Tuen Hocks is my favorite out of the group of four artists.
