for johns Monday session
the painting that interested me most was "Diana and Callisto". i don't think it is a painting is one that most people would chose to do.
when i read about the painting, i think it is quite depressing. Callisto didn't want any of this. Jupiter uses his power in a bad way. to me this painting is all about injustice and how people with power abuse it. for this project i want to look in to powerful leaders and the way they handle their power, e..g. Hitler. politics, kings.  the painting is also about trust and trickery , in the way he deceives her.  its all about exposing the true and the consequences of the truth.
when i looked into the work of the three artists that were working on the titan piece. "Mark wallinger" seems to have done some work called state Britain, which is about freedom of speech. its quite an interesting piece, which could be lot of linked to the ideas I'm thinking of
about mark wallinger state Britain
an interesting take on this piece, would be, change the figures in the piece to those of real people. so you could have Hitler, or some one who abuses power as Jupiter. someone who has been exploited as Callisto, and set it in a modern day environment.
i found some interesting paintings by Ruben depicting Jupiter. but there in my sketch book, but its interesting to see how other view him.
another idea i quite like is expressing the injustice through words. one idea i came up with was a sad woman, and you can see the fetus inside her, well the shape of the fetus and then in the fetus some sort of words about injustice.

these are my sketch ideas.
