FMP critique

Rob is a male artist and his work is 29.7 x 42.0cm, and it is portrait. There is no detailed background, so the head in the middle is the centre of the picture and it covers most of the board with not much space left for background.

The colours are both warm and cold, it helps distinguish the duality of the two faces, the skull is cold implicating death and the masked face is warm implicating life. The line work is very good and a sketchy yet a bold outline is evident on the picture. The narrative is not completely clear from looking at the piece without context however and could be confusing. I know what it is meant to mean however and is clearer to see when looking at the piece. Its story is that of anarchy and the death that must come when trying to achieve it. The picture is painted but has outlines of biro.
