We are questioned about this painting and were asked about our views and statements to start a discussion about the matter. A majorly of the classes agreed that this style of art was stupid for the fact that it looked rushed and simple, also for the fact that anyone could have produced this. This lead to our tutor highlighting the fact of not everyone would have had the idea or creativity behind the artwork itself, which got me thinking of the fact that maybe somethings are more than they appear from that even the simple form of art can cause confrontation through creative thinking.
From this technique of painting, the bold statement was able to travel from newspapers, social networks and headlines and was talked about vastly by everybody. Through this, the topic of Simulacra and conceptual art started to be discussed by our tutor. The term of logical thinking behind David Shrigley’s artwork is now art being structured into something that can be more than just seeing through a camera lens. That’s where the creativity comes from.
Another example of a visual artist would be from the styles of Tracey Emin through her rough, exposed and graphic concepts of artwork which describe her life through different forms of art such like ‘My Bed’ where each item within that piece describes her and who she is.
French philosopher Jean Baudrillard, a social theorist and critic had a passion and inspiration for post modernism. His articles were mainly about theories about the first Gulf war and whether it happened or not because no one really knew what actually happened or what it was like. The only witness that endured such events and to question the reality of the situation was a solider who was shot by a bullet at that very moment he faced reality. This piece spoke out in a way of changing peoples perspectives on the subject on them seeing it in a different way and to question the topic of ‘are we real or not’.
Whenever we think about Simulacra, we think to the fact of that is it linked through the term of conceptual thinking.Reality will always be questioned, and to be it can be looked upon as a state of mind. This will be debated by many people wondering about their own reality and their perspectives and views on how they see it for themselves. So instead of looking at a form of art and only seeing its appearance, look beyond that and think about the thought and meaning behind it.

Public Exhibitions
Glasgow visual artist David Shrigley, produced a painting for Derry City of Culture 2013. This painting was a bold statement to say that the expenses of the city yet being small, is becoming poorer. The title of the painting was ‘News’ followed by the statement of ‘Small city becomes £25,000 poorer. This of course brought confrontation for the community as he was asked and paid the same amount as mentioned in the painting, to produce something creative for the city.
