This week I have moved on from Grayson Perry and begun looking at my next artist, Laura Callaghan. Her work has interested for a long time now. Despite being a recent MA graduate in illustration from Kingston University she appears to be at the for front of the media. I have found an interview on 'mag culture' and looked into her commissioned pieces. What stands out most about this artist in relation to the question is that her work is usually exhibited in places which get a large amount of public attention for example social media, fashion advertisements and even murals in central New York.
You could say her work takes a feminist approach however the question really is; does she illustrate women because she believes in changing stereotypes in the patriarchy or is it simply because this is what she knows best? Working out whether an artist uses their medium because it is what they enjoy most or whether they feel it is a subject which needs attention is the most pressing debate
