Andres Serrano

Anarchy Series

I chose to focus on Andres Serrano series Anarchy. I like Serrano's use of silhouetted figures in this series and the use of lighter colored background to pull them off. The subject matter to me seems rehashed or cliché. I feel as it offers nothing new as we have seen these expression before. Celebrity feel almost like a stock conception photo. Oedipus seems like a ripoff of Charles Ray's women in fall 91 which are giant sized women and drives the point home in much more effective way.
