Art Involving The Traffic Theme
I chose to write my blog about this piece of work because i found it interesting as to how someone can take an ordinary well known, often seen object and form it into something humorous for not only the enjoyment of the artist or children but also to enlighten the mood of most adults. When I clicked on the image to get further knowledge on the art piece itself it didn't quite mention the person behind it, instead the person who wrote about it mentioned a man named Peter Gibson. Peter Gibson is well known for his effect on to the public through his art work as apart of road work.
This is an example of Peter Gibson's work. He took a ordinary pedestrian crosswalk and turned it into a washed out fish. When I look as his work I see it as a push for imagination and by that what I mean is when you look at his work compared to how the spot is normally supposed to look like it makes you think outside of the box and see things that no one else would normally see. People look at a pedestrian crosswalk as just thick lines symbolizing that it is in fact a crosswalk but Gibson looks at it and sees something completely different such as the washed out fish.
