Domestic Art
Jonathan Bourne is an artist who uses lighting within a domestic interior. Lighting has numerous factors such as the interiors character, when distinguishing domestic interiors. For example, low lighting can create the effect of and un-loved derelict space when compared to a fully lit space which may come across as more warm and welcoming.
When looking at Bourne's 'The Gallery at Apsley House'. I loved how intricate and detailed the piece was. Showing huge wealth and royalty, it expressed how 19th century interiors, in particular the lighting, have changed and developed up towards the 21st century. with the mono-coloured scheme, this creates authenticity as well as relying more on the detail rather than the colour. Allowing the spectator to not be too overwhelmed by the piece.

Public Art
Colin Wilbourne
Colin Wilbourne created the piece 'The Upper Room' in July 1994. This consisted of natural materials such as tree trunks in order to create a public event. The natural materials automatically created a complimentary exterior ensuring the art was not too forces upon the spectator. 'The Upper Room' could have perhaps been a private event made public through Wilbourne's work as many artists use exterior spaces to present their art as a memorial to the community.
This piece of art drew to my attention mainly due to how art and nature are brought together seamlessly without one of the two overpowering the other, creating unwanted attention. With the tree trunks presented in a forest with the use of natural materials, colour schemes and presentation were complimentary to each other.
Private Art
Tobias Rehberges
Tobias Rehberges is an artist that focuses on private art. Using a range of materials such as hard, translucent plastics and geometric shapes, this creates a modern, contemporary take on private spaces within art. As the spectator is looking through the doors within the gallery, the idea of looking into Rehberges private life is created; allowing you to be open to new aspects of his work and life. However, in some of Rehberges expeditions some of the doors are inn fact closed, creating the idea of that aspect of Rehbergs' life to be hidden and closed off.
This interested me because it made me think about the though paths behind this art work. It allowed me to ask myself questions such as "what do the doors represent? Do the colours have a meaning?". Due to this, I was able to create a reason behind each open and closed door. With the idea of the colours used also having a purpose withing the expedition, they can reflect Rehberges emotion when working on this piece. As well as this, the translucency of the doors (whether opaque, translucent or transparent) can represent how much of his private life hes allowing you to see.
Industrial Art
Vladimir Tatlin
Vladimir Tatlin's works showed industrial development as well as manual labour in the book 'Cubism and Abstract Art' by Alfred H Barr, Jr. Tatlin created the model for the monument to the third international in 1920. By using influence prom Picasso's iconic cubism features as well as Russian futurism. Though traditionally a painter, Tatlin he used his architectural skills and moved towards materials such as wood, glass and metal moving the Russian's work from character texture and more towards machinery.
Tatlin's work caught my attention due to its unique and simplified material work in order to create upper scaled infrastructures such as 'Tatlin's Tower as well as industrial development through a manual aspect. On top of this, I liked the authenticity and rawness of Tatlin's work reflecting on 21st century technology and architecture.
