In my opinion, the identity about Steve Lovett, he is a lovely person who likes to present his personal idea with his strong emotion, and the expression. To look through his works, he creates the series of printing and digital prints, and the identical details are related, such as gender, sex, homosexual, or the relationship between guys. However, he shows us the contemporary art, and the design which we can usually see in current society, and the different composition which relate to different culture background.
Moreover, he creates the different style of contemporary art, and combined with the audio equipments, for example, each feature has the sound effect, this is the sound effect by interviewing with people, and the interviewer’s pictures are in his one of his screen print work call “Speaking Parts.” And the interesting thing is this kind of display just like the “picture can talk,” and the picture is talking to the viewers. I very festinated that he uses the other method to present his work, it is like the real people looking at you and talking to you.
Furthermore, he finds many researches, such as Janet Cardiff who is an artist and a reporter, she likes to interview somebody who walk on the street, then Steve Lovett follow her example, then make the series of work, this kind of work also influence him to create the “Speaking Parts.” I never think of this media can became the great composition.
In conclusion, after viewing Steve Lovett’s work, whole the component in his work is showing the realistic of our society. Now a day, it is still the true life, and true event that we will face and usually see in this society.
