Bruce Nauman is an American artist that works over a range of mediums including sculpture, photography, neon, video and drawing. Nauman has a love of wordplay and works with satirical and absurdist tones. Nauman's work is shaped by his ethics and interests in politics and he views his work as playful and creative, rather than work to be taken seriously. I really like his neon text works and the specific words he chooses to use. Because of Nauman's choice in materials the works are quite powerful and eye catching. I tend to use quite muted colours or a monochromatic colour scheme within my own work, so it's interesting being drawn to colour within other works.
