Jennifer Maddox weekly post

Mathieu Asselin




What are the artist's technical choices?
He chose to place people where they would normally be, either in their kitchen or standing on their front porch and display the difference and destruction that the tornado caused. He chose to have these people not look too upset or beaten but have a neutral expression so they were not to take away from the entire picture. 

What are the artist's conceptual and/or thematic intents?
The artist wanted to show the change a tornado can make. It can turn a familiar  place, a home to some people, and completely turn it into something else. Something unrecognizable and unlivable.

How do you respond to these choices and intents?
I think his chose to have these people where they would normally creates an impact, and a shock to what has happen to their lives. Everything they knew is now gone and he displays this in wonderful way.  I also enjoy how the people do not have expressions they are just there showing people what happen.
