Fr3d Tomaselli post # 12

Fred tomaselli would considered to be a postmodern artist because  he wants people to figure out what his artworks art about.According to Tom"I want people to get lost in the work. I want to seduce people into it and I want people to escape inside the world of the work. In that way the work is pre-Modernist. I throw all of my obsessions and loves into the work, and I try not to be too embarrassed about any of it. I love nature, I love gardening, I love watching birds, and all of that gets into the work. I just try to be true to who I am and make the work I want to see. I don’t have a radical agenda." This tells me that he doesn't want a person to know what his artwork is right of the back.This maybe be why he uses cliches in his artworks,and also stereotypes.Another good example is tom uses an explosion of color and combines it with a basis in art history. His style usually involves collage, painting, and/or glazing.This fact tells the reader that it uses one of the postmodern visual strategies.As a result this all tells why this artist is a postmodern artist and why he use them in his artworks.
