Genevieve Gauckler because the ways her art is presented is as a graphic designer and as a graphic designer I really appreciate her works and how she presents her artwork. “Born in 1967 in Lyon, France Genevieve Gauckler is a Paris based artist who creates numerous characters and blends them into everyday life scenes and turns the fantastical world into reality” (http://www.g2works.com/). She likes to use simple colors, shapes and likes controlling and creating images and shapes with emotion and innocence.

“Genevieve has been focusing on videos, art, illustrations for various magazines and books, character design, comic book, and animated title sequences. She has two published books about her work”   (http://www.g2works.com/).

Her art works is sometimes considered abstract. When I look at it because some time it takes a while for me to understand the concept of the artwork before getting to know the true meaning of it. The way she creates her artworks is that it has a carefree vibe to it meaning that to me that every aspect of the artwork doesn’t have a purpose and is just there. Her artwork has color and balance to it and has a graphic theme to it.

Her artworks has many different elements and principles that tents to appear in the artworks, for example line because line pertains to the use of various marks, outlines and implied lines in artwork and design, most often used to define shape in two-dimensional work. Another element that her works contain is shape and or form because the tone, texture and color give depth and perception to her style of art. The element of color is important because the way she uses color such as primary color and secondary color to show emphasis and value which is another element that pertain to her artwork. The way she uses value it the way she uses black and white to contrast light and dark and shading as well.
