Tang Teaching museum is presently showcasing artist Fred Tomaselli. His work is very interesting containing actual objects mixed into his paintings. In this picture to the left Untitled (expulsion) he incorporates different types of pills and plants to create an intricate design.
I enjoyed this work in particular as it reminded me of a simplistic art activity practice. The image that stuck out in my mind while looking at this piece was one of children gluing macaroni to plates in arts and crafts. His work goes a step further, however, taking a simplistic idea of collage of materials into such a complex design. His work provides a unique experience and I would definitely recommend someone to check out his work.
