Bruce Nauman
Bruce Nauman is a contemporary artist born in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He is an American artist who specializes in sculpture, photography, and neon. I like he's neon work because the pieces are so unique and eye catching. One piece that I especially like is "The True Artist Helps The World By Revealing Mystic Truths" It's text, written in a number 6 form. I like it because for one the light immediately caught my attention. I also like the color scheme, red and blue go perfect together with this piece. I also think the text is true and agree with it. The fact that it's a neon light also adds to it, something about seeing color in darkness is awesome. Another one of his pieces that I like is "Human/Need/Desire". The reason I like it is because the placement of the words, they're all over the place and not structured. When I first looked at it I saw random words thrown together to make a X shaped figure. It took me a second glance to understand what the piece was saying. I like anything that gives me that second look/thought effect. I also thought his piece had a sense of humor and was witty.
