Richard Long
This piece is inviting because of the sense of distance it gives off, it feels to me that this path could go on forever and with the use of black and white it just adds a simple effect that takes away any confusion and just shows how simple the image really is. In it's loss of colour it draws your eye to the pebbled path.
The fact that this isn't a posed picture of someone walking and it's literally just a photo of someone on the move I find really nice as it can look different every time and there's no stopping for the photo. I also like how the artist chose to display it on two screens, very quirky and different draws your attention to it and gets you wanting to learn the story behind it.
What's interesting about this artist is that their work isn't based of their own 'walking journey' but is based on others. Their work has a lot of character and invites you to want to learn more about the background story of these people. The background in them may not be as interesting but the people in it makes up for that.
