Artist Research Entry 6: Bill Armstrong

Once again, I found an artist with a consistent trend with their work. Bill Armstrong is a fine art photographer with work that appears less like photographs and more like abstract portraits that are found in art museums. For over thirty years, this New York-based photographer has been shooting in color and his work has been displayed in museums and galleries across the country. His work mainly consists of blury silhouettes of people against a myriad of colored shapes. From what I could conprehend, they are apparently part of series that is a meditation of identity and the psychological state of being "in-between".

For me, I'm indifferent about this. I can certainly see where people come from when discussing these photos. They are well done and have intreguing messages behind them that keep viewers thinking. But on the other hand, this is the type of art work that I'm sad to say that people think all artists shoudl create. How each and every piece they conceive should be abstract and have deep, thought-provoking themes. That is all well and good, but I argue that sometimes, art should just be enjoyed with having to think too much about it. Regardless, I shouldn't judge this piece based on what I want it to be, but rather what it is. And these photos are excellent for what they are.
