Pop Culture: Christopher Corr drew Cats!

6 09 2010

Colorful illustrations which could uplift your day are many. Tom might be an artist which stresses on composition. But, some artists play on elements. They just nicely arrange their favorite elements and that’s it. The drawings still look good. For example, Christopher Corr. The way he drew a city is so much different from Tom Schamp.

There are not much details but the elements are nicely arranged. Oh, magnifier please. Thanks. He asked, “Do you have Calvin Klein underwear on?” Wow, what is it all about? See, I’m now like a reader who loves to read tabloid. Calvin Klein, what did you do to gain such kind of interesting exposure? But, the truth is pop artists don’t mind to incorporate their favorite brands into their works because, like us, brands are like air in everyday life. Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out… Of course, the duties of brands are to keep a smoothing breathing process. Consumers, nowadays, have no brand loyalty as brands boast. Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out… Brands, therefore, have no choice but to keep the engine on. Should there be any evil in brands, people would give them up both in subconscious and action.

Christopher also drew cats. Again, there is no story inside. He just nicely put cats on a yellow background. In between cats and dogs, I like cats more. I find it hard to communicate with dog owners who treat their dogs as babies. Yuck!

Mr. Corr’s works are more like a poem than text because he likes to stress on elements.  There is not much logics and details. I like his works and can’t find a reason for hate. If you hate his works, I suspect it’s because of your own problems.

Christopher Corr was born and grew up in Camden Town, London. He studied graphics in Manchester and illustration at the Royal College in London for a total of 7 years. This was followed by a period of travel and painting across the globe. He likes to incorporate his travel experience in his works.
