Art Is… And Then… poster
Visual Arts Press, New York, New York, 2001
Description
Art is…And then… is one of three posters created for the School of Visual Arts. I attempted to describe aspects of the art making process: the fear and concentration of the first charge (Suddenly); the elaborately ridiculous effort involved (Meanwhile); and the delicate research, study, and gathering of hybrid information (And Then). I did color studies of the compositions and photographed my main character for reference. The original paintings were larger than the reproduced size (approximately 3.5 by 5 feet).
Juror Notes
“This illustration is so bizarre. There’s a point to be made about when artists have a style and a world of their own, you just have to buy into it. This is definitely Woodruff. It’s crazy, buggy, flowery. It’s really not cool.”
