4 artists

Gregrory Crewdson's artworks are very playful and add this surreal effect using realistic objects and people. The settings for some of his pieces come from a room found inside a home which makes it personal however it seems exploited by showing it to the audience. Teun Hocks gives the same type of effect as Crewdson's work, using strange juxtapositions in his work and making it surreal. I enjoy Cindy Sherman's work, she poses in her own artwork as a self portrait but not as herself rather than different roles of women. It is interesting seeing how the same person can have different identities. Jeff Wall's work is interesting, it seems like the characters are from a different era and they are staged in a bizarre way. They seem off but very appealing to the mind, as if the audience is attracted to it because they want to figure out what the work is about.
All four artist give this whimsical and surreal effect to the audience which makes it more alluring to the eye.
