Barbara Kruger

"Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It's because I understand short attention spans." Barbara Kruger.

Barbara Kruger has always been a designer and artist who i have followed and i have always enjoyed her work. She mainly does black and white bold work with block bright colours mixed in which is often the style that i prefer when it comes to serious and demanding to the eye pieces.

Kruger always has a point to prove and an opinion to put forward and as she says in the quote above she always gets straight to the point. She has not only created very influencial pieces of work involving text with photos and art work which can often be so powerful they are almost disturbing she has also spread her work to alot of different mediums. As you can see above Kruger has filled whole rooms with her unique style, thoughts and designs all in bold fonts that you would expect to see on a newspaper headline. That's how she wants her opinions and thoughts to be seen. She has also had her work shown in very public places such as bill boards where it stands out so excellently in the middle of a busy city centre.

Everything that is said within Krugers work, in the pictures or within the words is very clear and daring. She wants to make people talk, even if it is just to say how rude they think she is. Everything helps the word and her name spread. She has done alot of work on consumption, shopping, modern addictions and everything that on some level we can connect ourselves too. Therefore i think bringing out the point and thought behind Krugers style of work.
