New meanings
This website is definitely more effective at showcasing Julian Montague's work. One thing that really stood out to me as being strong in his art is the use of space. He has a way of making an image stand out on a stark background, such as the large-scale insect drawing. Another art piece where this was incredibly effective was the shopping cart against the blue and green background. I didn't even think about groceries stores or food or anything else associated with shopping carts when I looked at this. Maybe words more like oceans and loneliness.
He really takes things that people take for granted or don't even notice and gives them a new meaning. I have more appreciation for his work now that I've looked at his website.
