Fred Tomaselli: The Pill Guy


Fred Tomaselli uses a variety of different things to create his art. He uses real pills, plants, paint, and even illustrations cut from books or magazines. What makes his art so interesting is that it is all layered with clear epoxy resin, meaning that there may be a layer of pills covered in epoxy, and then that layer of epoxy is painted and then covered with more epoxy so eventually layers of epoxy build up creating this art work. I think what was most appealing about Tomasell's work was how involved his work was with all of the layers and planning, it was incredible. In addition, I really enjoyed the focus of his compositions. He had birds, people, plants and crazy patterns and designs and it was really cool to see. All in all I thought this was definitely creative and almost entrancing.
