Phil Toledano

Phil Taledano

Phil Taledano was born in 1968 within London. Taledano has a BA in English Literature but his art education had come from his father who was a full time artist. Phil Taledano varies as it can be photography  installation, sculptures or paintings. Some of his work is even within deep personal.

Baby Suit

Within these pieces of art Phil Toledano has explored Hope and Fear. Within all of these pieces I believe he has explored the fear of everyday people and put them on ordinary people. As within this piece it shows a man who has multiple Baby Dolls stuck to him. This links to my project as it could be considered this man's fear. I will use this within my project as I would look within peoples owns personal fears but I also like the idea of dolls as I believe that they are very scary. I could create my own installation piece. I believe that within this piece by having many of the same thing it then makes it become creepy, which I will explore within my work.

 Gun Necklace

Within this piece again is about Hope and Fear. This piece can be related to the fear of guns that society has. This image could be considered on how guns make us stand tall in confidence as the most powerful countries will stand tall as of there power as they have guns. This could just be considered the fear of guns in today's society as it is coming more and more common, especially in america. This relates to my project because of the fear aspect. I like this work because it is very simple, just like fear as it is a simple thing which is hard to be taken away. I will use this within my project as I will experiment with putting pieces on myself as I could Photoshop them on or make an installation piece.
