Over the years I've unintentionally become a collector of all things robots (and elephants). Robots are often thought to strictly fulfill some sort of mechanical role. However, I see the use of color and shapes to provide robots with unique and upbeat personalities. (Okay, I have seen a few that look a bit menacing.)
The Giant Robot Biennale 3 is currently on exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum. (*Free general admission every Thursday from 5 to 8 PM and every third Thursday of the month.) My favorite two artists from this exhibit were Eishi Takaoka and Saelee Oh.
I love that Eishi's medium of choice is wood and that he uses both subtle details and, oppositional to that, exaggerations to convey expression. The final intricacies in his facial expressions are simple and complex.
Saelee Oh's obvious extreme patience and attention to detail is
inspiring. I think it's safe to say that a minute percentage of the
population have enough discipline to create the intricate pieces that
she creates.
I enjoyed the playfulness and storytelling of Deth P. Sun. His work has a musicality to it that I naturally created an internal soundtrack for them. On top of that, his hero is a cat!
