Ben Heine

Ben Heine's paper art to me at first glance seemed like the work i'd be interested in. He brings other medias on top of the image. My opinion from just looking at his line of work of "pencil vs camera" he's made it seem like a battle between these types of medias. How people tend to hide behind this type of visage that we hide so easily It shows the type of of generation we live in where we're constantly editing to perfect that image we have envisioned in our heads. The illustrations bring out the best in these photographs. I like the way in which these illustrations are in black and white.

It questions why didn't he use colour? Why does he need only a sliver of a piece of paper, with an illustration on top of the image? Maybe his expectations, don't meet up with reality so he creates something that does line up. Or maybe reality to him is within this world he's decided to illustrate?
