Robin Rhode

Robin Rhode is a South African artist and lives in Germany now. The artist used a new perspective of art which is quite different from those I saw in the past.
I think this kind of artwork is really unique and amazing as well. If we only consider the person lying on the ground and ignore the rest part, it appears to be meaningless or even silly. However, when the artist combined these two parts into an integrated one, it is quite interesting. The lying person is in the middle of the air, which is motional instead of a rest one.  The same principle applies to the other two pictures. A man, some leaves and a willow, three isolated parts, begin to interact when they are put together. However, the third one is quite opposite to the first one, which enables the man to be the rest part, whereas the stonelike objects have a falling motion.
