Notes to Basquiat by Gordon Bennett

Danielle Fattori

I found an interesting artist named, Gordon Bennett in the 'Art Link' magazine (volume 23, pg 39, 2003). The series 'Notes to Basquait' in my opinion reflects political, social and cultural views that effect people worldwide. I think the images are really busy with plenty to look at. I think the roughness to the series add to their success. The paintings look kind of sad and give a depressing feel about them but yet for some bizarre reason I think they look pretty neat.
