Oliver Herring


Out of all of the artists' that we viewed today, I like him the best. I like how he wants to make this personal connection with complete strangers.

His combination of painting and photography is very unique. I would never think to ask someone, especially someone I don't know, to spit food dye out of their mouths, get it all over their bodied, then photograph them afterwards.

I think that this concept is very clever and creative. His images are beautiful and amazing. I especially like the eyes in the images of the men with paint all over them. He seems to pick the colors that really compliment their eyes and make them pop!
