Whitney Biennial

At the whitney, two artists i saw with similar style works were Rober Williams and Aurel Schmidt. Their work was similar in content with the fantasy like monsters in the series that contained beyond ferocious in it. In Schmidt's the content is a minotaur filled with all kinds of masculine things such as beer cans, condoms and cigarettes. That is where the artists differ. Schmidt focused on masculinity in her piece while Williams seemed to create up obscene creatures that try to fit into somewhat normal environments. I really did enjoy how Schmidt made up her minotaur, in particular the cigarettes as the veins and the six pack of beer for the abs.
