Today's Future Problems: Online Exhibition
Title: The Tank Men
Year: 2006
Creator/Author: Jeff Bandelin @JohnnyUtah
Series: Tankmen
Inspired by: The Card Players by Paul Cézanne (1894)
Artist Comment
Much like Pico, the Tankmen and Captain had an air of intimidation surrounding them. They are on the logo of the site; I had to make their piece look good. So, I turned to study pieces for inspiration and found the Card Players series by Cézanne. His works are always very expressive and depict scenes of everyday life in a more believable way than other works of the time. It felt like the perfect setting and allowed me to explore some of the other supporting characters from the series in a way that set them into the scene naturally.
