The work Chris Sickels produces is very impressive and whimsical. The stories he tells in his work is very funny and beautiful. The show that he presented at The Art Institute of Boston had a great mixture of sculptures, drawings, sketches and video. He is a very well celebrated artist being the creator and director of the award-winning Red Nose Studio. Red Nose Studio's illustrations appear in advertising, magazines, books, newspapers, packaging, character development and animation.
This exhibition did not do justice to his work. He is artist that is very inventive and fun, this exhibition did not showcase this. The exhibition was very traditional and not well organized. There was no literature to describe his work witch left the viewer to wonder. the Exhibition was very simple it didn't give a mood to the work which would have made the work so much more impressive if it did. the set up wasn't clean, there were two extremely large speakers in the corner which was, you can say the least an eye sore. They didn't even try to hid the wires coming from them, or the TV. There was a separation in the show dividing up the work and putting it in the other room was confusing.
This exhibition took away from Sickels work, the presentation of the work seem to be put together quick and under thought about. this Exhibition could have been great but it just feels like a missed the mark fr me. the work has such a glorious theme that could have been mirrored with in the Exhibition but they seem to ignore it.
