One artist, who was not mentioned in my dissertation, is Claus Oldenburg (1922-). This artist has given me a lot inspiration to explore a world of ideas and possibilities.
I came to the conclusion that a lot of Pop Artist’s through the years have often worked with objects and scale. Claus Oldenburg is famous for his giant sculptures of an ice cream dropped onto the top of a tall building, or his spoon and cherry sculpture. Upon having a discussion with my mentor, I discussed an idea with him about making a large piece of packaging. When thinking about the consumer and throw- away society we live in today, took me back to ‘Pop Art’ in the 50’s and 60’s.
