PITIFUL CREATURES
Title
PITIFUL CREATURES.
Creator
Wightman, Shaun, Hall, Scott, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description
By focusing on character, humor, and loose narrative, I create a world full of quirky, pitiful creatures that blur the lines between illustration and "Fine Art". Inspired by golden age cartoons, Pop-Surrealism, and late 50's commercial art, I make work that speaks of the awkwardness of human emotion while keeping a "tongue in cheek" attitude about everyday life. This work is expressed through illustration, animation, sculpture, and a lot of sarcasm.

THREADS OF IDENTITY: MARISOL'S EXPLORATION OF SELF
Title
THREADS OF IDENTITY: MARISOL'S EXPLORATION OF SELF.
Creator
Williams, Emily, Colo'n Mendoza, Ilenia, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description
Marisol Escobar, known in the 1960s as the "Latin Garbo," is a sculptor famous for showing with the Pop art greats. However, Marisol holds a curious position in art history, stranded between the formalism of the 50s and 60s male dominant Pop movement and the conceptual experimentation and radicalism of the 1970s. Her quiet yet intense observation pinpoints the overriding human elements present in the objects of her scrutiny. Most notable for turning her gaze inwards, her self-portraiture...
Show moreMarisol Escobar, known in the 1960s as the "Latin Garbo," is a sculptor famous for showing with the Pop art greats. However, Marisol holds a curious position in art history, stranded between the formalism of the 50s and 60s male dominant Pop movement and the conceptual experimentation and radicalism of the 1970s. Her quiet yet intense observation pinpoints the overriding human elements present in the objects of her scrutiny. Most notable for turning her gaze inwards, her self-portraiture defies easy categorization. Marisol's approach to self-portraiture is in service to the exploration of her own identity. Yet, from the 1990s onwards, Marisol's work has received little scholarly coverage despite her stylistic affinities within Postmodern discourse. Therefore, I will discuss Marisol's body of work, use of iconography and development of style in the last three decades which focuses on the artist's expression of identity, sexuality, and power.

THE ILLUSION OF ART: MY AMALGAMATION OF ILLUSTRATION AND CONTEMPORARY ART
Title
THE ILLUSION OF ART: MY AMALGAMATION OF ILLUSTRATION AND CONTEMPORARY ART.
Creator
Davila, Victor, Abraham, Charlie, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description
Drawing on archetypical aspects of human characteristics and personalities, I create images that illustrate our connection to memory, media, and culture. My work is informed by pop culture, including television, movies, cartoons and comic books as it relates to characters in our own physical world and society. The grid is used to represent both childhood games and the frames of a comic strip, where each panel equals an exact moment of time.
