I saw this image on the cover of my friend's Dave Eggers' book and it blew me away (as the book is now doing, but I digress.) So I had to find out more about the image, called "Horsefly" and its artist, Daniel Chang.
His website starts simply with just this image and the words "Design for Humanity." (swoon)
I'm a sucker for images that seem to have the vibrancy toned down a bit without losing any of the color's integrity, which I think is my favorite part of Chang's work.
I also really love when artists take composition to its literal and obvious point. Chang's use of division on the canvas looks simple while remaining complex and mathematical.
And I really did the non sequiturs. The guitar pick above, the flamingo and sunglasses in works further up the blog. It's not random, yet its randomness makes me feel more grounded in my own insanities.
