My recreation of Salvador Dali's 'Sleep'

My recreation of Salvador Dali's 'Sleep'

12A)

Salvador Dali is said to be one of the greatest surrealist artists of our time.
In my piece I have been inspired by Dali to create a piece of artwork personal to me.
I have chosen 'sleep' because this piece of work recaptures the spirit of your minds thoughts as you sleep. In Dali's original piece his face shows us a mind-boggling array of expressions. I feel that Dali wants us to explore how our expressions change from us being awake to when we are asleep. Furthermore, Dali might want us to see a natural image of someone (rather than a fake smile, for example).

My piece titled 'Slug Tubes' inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci

Slug Tubes



13A)
My artwork inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's
'Anatomy of a Woman'. 


13B)
The above artwork is a replica of the original but 
with the Tube map leaflet design incorporated. 

This unique morphosis to Leonardo Da Vinci’s ‘Anatomy of a Woman’ has inspired me to take a whole new approach to how we envisage the body to function.

I want to give the idea of Underground trains slithering along, through the internal organs inside the human body.      

The Underground to me is an on-going circulation, or cycle of transition for people to do their daily commute.  
- Some people take transport as a necessity because they take the tube so often that they tend to rely on this brilliant piece of engineering craftsmanship. Moreover, it's all too easy to forget the sheer essence and beauty of the tube. I have tried to give an unusual interpretation of how the cycle of the Underground works and how this can link with the workings of the human body 
- I believe I have reflected my personal response by showcasing to my audience that public transport does not have to be this stereotypical image of sweat and pain in a battle to get to work. Instead, I hope to convey the wonderful side of public transport and how London's Transport network is the greatest and will always be the best.
