This is one photographer whose work is always taken from a face on point of view and sometimes even just below when he is positioned outside a building making the building look tall and overwhelming. This photo is not as common as most other photos as it involves a variety of colours while Rousse's other pictures generally have one main colour to them and with some the coloured shape in the middle attracts your eye but you look around the shape before being able to focus on it. This photo includes both primary and secondary shapes, the coloured shape is primary being a circle and inside the shape contains shapes of a more complex structure but in some areas, the shapes has some squares in it.

Wow, I love this selection. I love the primary colours of this colour palette and the way this artist has portrayed the colour vibrancy in this image. It gives it a sense of definite contrast, and it is really pronounced because of the muted tones of its surroundings, along with its central placement it then leads on to the expected impact. "Very cool!"
Thanks Daniel,
I know this isn't part of this assignment - but I just want to know how exactly he takes these photos? Does it involve photoshop?
In some ways, the concept reminds me a little of the photo billboards by Jennifer Mason that we saw at Te Tuhi, but of course, not so colourful.

I'm not too sure how this artist goes about his work, he was a big influence my last years work and while trying to research him, all i can remember finding out was that he paints into the space - not too sure about that but don't remember finding much on him
wow, this is a very interesting image! first of all, i like the colour palette of the image in the centre because it gives out a sense of positive + full of energy towards it. i feel like this image is broken into two halves where the foreground image (bright coloured image in the circle) has more weight in it than it does in the background image. I also like the contrast of the colourful colours and the almost 'dull' colours used in the background hence the bright colourful image stands out more. The lines in the background image (the ceiling) takes your eye further down down towards the image making it look like a long image.
The foreground imagery brings to mind an artist i researched last year at school & has been inspired by named Jim Lambie-worth looking at. He is famous for his "Floor Installation" works where he uses different colours of glossy tape in continuous lines taped onto the floor-he has even done them on stairs, almost similar to the one depicted in Rousse's image. His floor installation works creates an energetic and emotional feeling-google search his 'Touch Zobop' work, you'll be amazed (:
