Eye Test
Alex Bucklee
Alex Bucklee is an English artist and designer, who lives and works in London. Before his career as an artist, he worked as a designer for different large brands. The key words to describe his creations are minimalism and typography. Namely, critical and thought-provoking messages are vital in his artworks. When it comes to topics, Bucklee’s artworks present loneliness, political apathy and homophobia. His artworks convey an amount of humour, but they also raise problematic questions in society. Current artwork “Eye test” looks like something one would have to read paying a visit to the eye doctor. Diversely the message is a rather unusual one and asks people to really see what’s going on instead of ignoring it.
Alex Bucklee on Inglismaa kunstnik ja disainer, kes elab ja töötab Londonis. Bucklee töötas enne kunstnikukarjääri algust disainerina erinevate suurte brändide heaks. Tema loomingu läbivad märksõnad on minimalism ja tüpograafia. Nimelt on tema teostes olulisel kohal kriitilised ja mõtlemapanevad sõnumid. Teemadest esindavad Bucklee teosed üksindust, poliitilist ükskõiksust ja homofoobiat. Tema teosed annavad edasi teatud huumorit, kuid tõstatavad seeläbi probleemseid küsimusi ühiskonnas. Käesolev teos “Eye test” näeb välja nagu midagi, mida silmaarsti juures lugeda tuleks. Erinevusena on aga tegemist pigem ebatavalise sõnumiga, mis palub inimestel päriselt näha, mis toimub, ilma seda ignoreerimata.
