Claes Oldenburg

An American Sculptor, best known for his public art installations of very large replicas of every day objects.

Born : January 28th, 1929 (age 85) Stockholm, Sweden

Media : Morden art, Pop art.

                Giant Match sticks (couldn't find real name)

Claes plays with SCALE greatly leaving us viewers feeling like ant's in comprassion to his work.

Some people may have the feeling of, they don't know what to feel? 

or simply the question of, is this Art ?

He uses the enroiment to his advantage, making his art work larger then a building or a car. playing with scale like that i find extremely amazing because he's thinking outside the box.

I guest in a way i feel like his art brings smiles or laugher to the viewer. About something simple and plane, Tapping in to some kind of Memory relating to his art,  but in a sense of "WOW that is a big Match Stick though".

Claes uses sculpture for his work. installations all over the city. and paints the his work to how is will look in really life but keeps it it nice and clean.

i would say that his work reminds me of anyone else's art work so i think that his work is his own and original. and i like to say he in prises me in a way of sculpture.
