Fred Wilson is an American artist who was born and raised in the Bronx, New York, in 1954, he is from African, Native American, and European descent. He received a BFA from Purchase College, State University of New York. The reason why I chose Fred Wilson as my artist is because I have never seen an art style quite like his. I believe that the thing that really caught my attention within his artwork is the different type of images that he puts together all having some type of meaning and background story behind them. His artwork is very interesting to me but there are a couple of images that really caught my eye.

This is the first image that caught my eye. This image is very interesting to me because in all honestly I do not truly know what it is about. The first thing that I noticed about this image is the black to white contrast, there is a lot of white in the background but the different black spots makes it balanced. To me the black spots could be two different things, the first thing that I thought of when I looked at them was little paint drops that rolled down the wall onto the floor, but after i looked closer I noticed that some of them had eyes on them. So the only other thing that crossed my mind was that they were tadpoles. The main reason why I like this picture is because it keeps your mind wondering because we honestly do not know what it is.

This is the second image that was very interesting to me, the reason why it is so interesting to me is because it is an image inside of a image. When you originally look at the image you can tell that it is obviously some type of house or building. Then when you look a little bit closer you can tell that the first image that i talked about was also within this image in the background. The reason why it is very intriguing is because it looks as if you are walking into another room but it is actually the first image, which makes this look three dimensional.

I believe that this might be my favorite work of art by Fred Wilson. This is so interesting to me because it is completely filled different types of white objects. There are statue heads, full statues, and there are also cups and plates. The thing that makes the picture really stand out is the arrangement of the different objects and the two black objects. The two black objects are such a different color than the others that your eye immediately goes to those two objects, then wonder off into the rest of the objects.

This picture is very unique to me because it leaves the viewer hanging with nothing but their imagination to figure out what this picture is about. This is because of the bottom it is a man with two women who seem to be chopping grain, but on the top there is a snake and there is also some type of bird. I believe this could be a symbol of something during Egyptian times.

These last three images are very different but in my opinion they could all possibly have the same meaning. In the first image there is a young white man who has just graduated from either high school or college and he seems to be standing on a black man’s face. In the second image there is a young white woman who has a young black girl in her hand, it looks as if the young black girl could be a puppet. In the last image there is a young white woman who is dressed up and it looks like she is picking flowers, but there is a black man’s head on the ground with no body attached to it. All of these images are different but I believe that the possible meaning that they all share could be traced back to slavery, because in all of these images these it is depicting white people prospering and black being under them.
Fred Wilson is a phenomenal artist in my opinion, and the reason why I admire his work so much is because he is able to blend different objects together, including race and ethnicity within his artwork to have a greater story and meaning behind his work.
