This piece of work is by Lin Osborn, a contemporary photographer, she graduated in 2001 with a BA Hons in Fine art. The name of the artwork is 'Rainbow' as the photographs are put in to different rows depending on there colour, to make up the rainbow. I have chosen to analyse this piece as I would like to do something similar for my own work, using lots of different circle images to make an abstract piece.
I have looked at the photographers website to further my understanding of the work, I found that she likes to use series of small detailed images that relate to each other. Such as lots of blue objects, different doors, flowers or things that relate to London to make up her original styled artwork.
She has cropped the original images to get close ups of the coloured objects. This makes the colours stand out better as there is no background colour to cause distraction from the object. The size of the artwork is 40x50cm, from a far this will make the work look abstract as the detail will be less visible from a far and only the colours will be prominent.
I really like this piece of artwork as it is unusual and the effect of it changes depending on what angle/distance you look at it from. From a far it looks like one big picture but when you look up close you can see the detail of each individual image.
Here are some more examples of her work:
