 Francis Bacon
What drew me to this piece was that in the mutation of the face it took the person's identity. This could be a mash up of anyone's portrait but knowing Bacon designed it on someone in particular makes it more striking in it being unrecognisable. It also reminds me of what a body looks like under it's skin, like mussel and bone, with it's use of colour.

What's striking about this piece it that it looks like it should fall apart, it doesn't look stable. With it's straight angles it's very captivating and inviting. Plus with it's choice of colour and background it stands out well against it.
Damien Hirst.
What caught my eye first was the blue against the white, it wasn't until I looked closely that I notice it contained something, and that something was a unicorn. What makes that interesting is that a unicorn is a mythical creature not an real animal, so it makes it interesting in his choice of creature.
I also like the angle from which this image is taken, it can at first appear to be a white horse, but when looked at from the smaller window you see it's horn. Also from the angle there can appear to be 3 separate animals, when in fact that's caused by the reflection of the glass or if the contain withholds any liquid.
