Javier perez vs. Kari Herer

My third post, already! Today, I thought about artists that keep their works simple and creative.

First artist is from Ecuador named Javier Perez. He first started posting his works on Instagram (cintascotch) and started to get attention from people. His works are a mix of everyday objects and simple line drawings for instance he creates balloons out of grapes or dinosaur out of spiral notebook. They are easy to see and less difficult to understand. I think any age group would like these works, especially the kids. Although his chosen path of art does not constitute of something massive, the simplicity incorporated in his art just makes the work stand out. 

In one of the Huff post email, Perez said, "My main inspiration comes from daily objects, the most common appear as the most attractive to me."
Through his works, I was able to redefine everyday objects into different points of view.





Kari Herer is yet another artist with incredible works of art. She is somewhat different as her focus is specific; she combines line drawings with flowers.  She is known as a photographer for a longer period of time compared to when she started her works below. I fell in love with her works of animals and flowers. She has a background in fine art and graphic design and has strong love for nature. Currently, she is working as a professional fine art and portrait photographer. She lives in Portland, Maine, and works for a wide group of clientele. 

Her simple line drawings may seem empty, but as the fresh floral fills in the space, the colors brighten depicting her love for nature. Also, floral sometimes question me; what would be there if I removed the flowers?





Perez and Herer would be considered as the most creative artists as they cooperate with two mediums: pen and real objects. They both have similarities of drawing simple lines and attaching a real object such as grape and flower. On the other hand, two artists have different areas of interest; Perez gets inspired by objects around him and Herer is a nature lover. What makes two artists so famous and love by people is their creative thinking and the viewers are easy to approach the artworks.
