Green Wash

Greenwash is an environmental claim which is unsubstantiated and irrelevant which can be found in advertising, PR or on packaging and made about people, organisations and products. Greenwash is dangerous, In a market economy the consumer is king, and consumers have started sending strong environmental signals through their purchasing. 

Ben Nicholson

Ben Nicholson was born in Denham, Buckinghamshire on the 10 April 1894 and died 6 February 1982. He was a British painter of abstract compositions, landscape and still-life. His first notablecomposition was when following a meeting with the playwright J. M. Barrie on holiday in Rustington, Sussex in 1904. As a result of this meeting, Barrie used a drawing by Nicholson as the base for a poster for the play Peter Pan. In Paris in 1933 he made his first wood relief, White Relief, which contained only right angles and circles. He believed that abstract art should be enjoyed by the general public, as shown by the Nicholson Wall, a mural he created for the garden of Sutton Place in Guildford, Surrey.

KID ACNE ESSAY

Kid Acne was born 1978 in Lilongwe, Malawi. He now lives in sheffield. His career as a graffiti artist started at the age of 12, he was inspired by its infinite scale, colour and immediacy, since then career has blossomed and his work can be seen throughout the globe. Kid Acne still continues to create large peices of art with slogans, such as his large scale peice of are "stick to the plan"and "youll miss me when im gone" which in my opinion are all colourful compositions and all include white and black.
He also creates large, simplistic paintings of people where he doesn't put great detail into the facial expressions, he keeps the painting very simple, colourful and continues to use the same technique throughout.
