Your art gives me a lot of questions...
At first I saw one of your pieces in someone else's favourites and it caught my eye, and I would like to fist admit that I find many of your collages aesthetically pleasing. I intially thought you were making drawings and collaging them with strong inspirations from art history in a very eclectic but interesting way. But, with this piece for example it is clear your work is direct appropriation of the original piece(s). I then begin to question the originality in your work.
I also wonder if collage in this format is really valid as art, since I believe that good art involves both a thought or idea and a degree of skill. Using original artworks and paintings by other people is using their talents and not yours. And I would ask if you have considered using drawings of your own, to produce a much purer conceptual backing to the work or if you can make an argument that the skill in these works is through making your compositions.
Leading from this, another question it gives me is whether or not you are using these works respectfully. For example the original painting here was one of great sadness. It was based on a poem by Tennyson about a girl who was forbidden to view the world directly because of a curse. This scene represents the close of the poem when she is sailing to her death. Your colourful addition certainly makes no connection to any of these themes, but I also ask if that is important and if you considered any of these things in the making of your work?
What is it you wish to say with these pieces? If it is purely aesthetic maybe it is important for you to consider the ideas of these original pieces to understand what they were trying to say before adapting them and merging them with a conflicting, contradictory theme.
I hope my points do not seem overly critical, I just want to raise debate, which it seems Devianart is both lacking but designed to encourage...
