Jim Dine

Martin told me I should do some research on a selection of artists he thought my work reminded him of, on tuesday. Jim Dine as a name sounded so familar, but I just couldn't place it.

Well. I placed it!

I had a 'garden' project back on my national diploma course, he was one of the 'advised' artists to look at. 
It makes so much sense now.


It's odd, because at the time, I clearly remember this piece being influential to me.

 

His 'Car Crash' Exhibition is so ... different to the stuff I know. http://www.starr-art.com/exhibits/Dine_Crash/
