Steve Lovett

Blog question:How has Steve Lovett's practice evolved over the period of his professional career?

For this week we had one of my favorite lecturers Steve Lovett come in to give us a presentation on his artworks and art practices. Although i did not attend that weeks lecture i had help from Alli who helped and explain in detail what had happened on tuesday and also gave me her notes to look at. For me personally i find steve's art and practices reallyinteresting because first of all how he is currently my drawing lecture for this semester.

Also because i know he has a great knowledge of art and artists and so i was very excited to see how Steve expresses and shows us the definition of what he calls Art.

In his first slide during his lecture wich Steve titles "what do i do when im not here"he talks about the concept of the passing of time, the transition and the loss of time. he talks about how printed images are the idea's he works around. And to him thats the idea of developing an understanding of the world, in this slide of art works Steve shows me that he has a lot of contemporary portrait work in his arwork that to me shows that steve has interests with identity

For this artwork (mother and daughter what can we say 1997), I really like that idea of how we only know ourselves through second person, and through our dialogues and interaction through our friends, lovers, families, and colleagues is an interesting concept. This artwork for me seemed to give that feeling of wanting and dealing with these feelings.

but coming back to the question i couldnt really answer it because i didn't attend the lecture that day and i wasnt really sure. but by looking at emit i found that steve began to use a more formal art convention rather than political style of work he began out with. Like with this image i think that he uses a different style of technique like for example the holes in the image, to me this give's that kind of 3 dimensional look to it. but i like the way hes used space the colour and its form.
