Artists Analysis


This piece of artwork is only one of in a series of paintings, block prints, and other types of media in the new  gallery at the StolenSpace Gallery in  United Kingdom, in London.  This gallery is dedicated solely to the band Green Days newest album 21st Century Breakdown. This particular piece is called American Eulogy, and was done by Jeremiah Garcia, done with stencil and collage on canvas. It is after the song American Eulogy, which talks about how the world is "Coming to an end". Or, at least, that's how the media is making it seem. 
I really love how the artist captures the real, true, meaning of the song. It really gives me an image to put to the lyrics. The emotions I get from this piece are so strong, and overwhelming. I think the angle of it really gives it the Panicky feeling that the artist was wanting. It's like we're seeing it from the persons point of view, watching along with him as the world falls apart.
