JEFF WALL

I have been exposed to Wall's work in Art History classes of the past. Many of his compositions have been completed on a very large scale. He seems to have a dark organized chaos about his imagery. Wall's use of color in very muted tones suggests the seriousness of his subjects. His work appears to be thoroughly staged to create false realities. It is then left up to the viewer whether or not to appreciate his extensive detail embedded in a documentary style and sometimes awkward compositions.
