The main reason as to why I was drawn towards the work of
Olly Moss is because of his medium. Throughout his career he has been commissioned
by major film companies to create screen prints for films, but similar to the
work of a lot of contemporary art, Moss finds a way in which he is able to tell
the narrative through an almost simple design. For example in the below Star Wars
trilogy, he has not necessarily looked at following the traditional route of
creating a design showing space, but instead has used a silhouette of one of
the most significant characters from each of the films, before filling the silhouette
with a vast amount of detail that tells the narrative of each film. This has
been extremely successful because of the way in which it helps tell the
narrative of the film without having to storyboard each and every scene. He
also uses bold colours, throughout his work, it is dominantly blue or red, both
colours remaining mutual within his work, and yet at the same time red can be
used in horror film posters, whilst greens, like seen below, are used to
represent the forestry, the setting and scenery of that film.
