The Influence of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Ruan Huisman and Banksy on My Artwork and Concept
My concept and artwork has been inspired by hyper-realism and symbolism movements. That is why I have chosen these two artists for this essay. The first artist is Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the artwork is La Pia de' Tolomei (1868-80). The other artist and his work is Untitled I by Ruan Huisman.

The idea of drawing something and then having to look deeper than the surface to fully understand it, is an aspect that I tried to incorporate into my work. My use of colour amongst the other black, white and greys is inspired by Banksy’s use of colour. This because he mainly uses two tones black or white so when he uses colour it is only used for a specific purpose. An example being Steve Jobs’ blue pants is the only colour in his artwork.
