Visual Pop Culture Essay Proposal
Eric Shanes is one of the main contributors of Visual pop culture. His work attempts to express media bombardment of the twentieth and twenty first century in visual culture. Eric Shane’s vision aims at creating a unique art work that focuses on electronic media and its influence in the visual culture. The artist creates crowded and coherent paintings that act as an analogue barraged to which most artists are subjected. Through crowding, Erick Shanes is able to counter minimalism and integrate art and everyday life. His methodology is to develop a visual vocabulary never heard before which draws its ideas from electronic circuits, neon lighting and wave motions. Erik Shane’s greatest opposition is that no other painter can address the overload that concerns visual language in visual culture. Most of his works have a unique resonance to the contemporary culture.
