Billie Jean - Analysis


This was created by Billie Jean. The artwork shows the 30 years of nike basketball shoes starting form 1985. The work has been created using different shades of blue biro pens. The pen allows fine detail and creates effective shade and tone using cross hatching as seen on the trainer also the pen creates a sharp, crisp outline on the detail of the shoe and shapes on the page. The artist has used the pen to ccreate different marks to fill up the page and also drawn images relating to the shoe like the basketball player underneath and basketballs on the sides. The artist has drawn images of things that link in with era of 1985 like the game "space invaders". 

I like this piece of artwork because it shows you the drawing skill this artist has by making the shoe and basketball player under the shoe look photo realistic but you can also see the artist doesn't just got for realism but can create weird abstract marks to draw the attention of the audience. This piece has inspired me to try and use a pen to draw in detail to create artistic pieces and not only to write about artwork.

The artwork gives off the meaning of old school and how one of the first games have made a big impact in history.

I chose this piece to pin because it reminded me of the classic games back when  i was younger and the fun i had playing them with my brothers and also the technique the artist has used to create the depth and contrast of the font onto a grid board to give it authenticity and allow people to recognize the concept with the classic space invader characters.
