Many art works that are produced contain no physical skill to create but the creativity to bring the piece together makes the art into something fantastic. Damien Hurst is a well known artist in which many of his pieces involve more of his creativity then art skill. His identical twins piece that was featured in Tate Modern expressed how two people could look the same, but have completely different thoughts and ways to express themselves. I was ironic that two people who are exactly the same could be so different. His piece allowed viewers to see the same, but think at the same time how different they really are from one another.
We also looked at a group of installations in class by artist Spencer Tunick. Tunick also had a unique way of creating his art by taking naked people and inserting them into his landscapes. One landscape he did in Switzerland was on top of a snow caped mountain. He tried to show the comparison of the vulnerable naked people to vulnerable melting mountain due to global warming. The piece allowed me to feel a little what the mountain was feeling when its "cloths" were being stripped of him due to the warmer climate.
