Roxy Paine is an American contemporary artist who creates works based on the conflict between industry and nature, as well as chaos and control. His artworks features stainless steel trees, replicas of mushrooms and poppies, plants in various states of decay, and large scale machine sculptures. I really liked the steel trees and how he was able to create a machine like feel to it, mixing industry and nature. I also liked how his style of art could go from a creating a replica of something, to a very creative intertwining of machines with nature on the human body. I feel as though this juxtaposition between controlled art and chaotic will help to expand my art style.
