Plasticine Artists- Gery Lebecq

Gery Lebeque is from Lille, France and creates humorous clay models which he makes on his own and then photographs them. His work ranges from advertisements to humour/comedy.His advertisement work is for French companys such as Renault and the Koobuy.



This image is of a clay/plasticine model of a giraffe playing golf! This image is for a company called Koobuy which sells shopping. I think this image is well thought out as it shows that you can buy golfing equipment there and also it may be trying to communicate that golfing is a leisure activity and so is shopping. I like the colours used such as the traditional pink for the golfing t-shirt and the nice greens and blues for the sky and grass which helps to add to the realism of the image. I really like the detail in the image as well as it makes the image look even more real (even though giraffes don't play golf!). For example the golfing cap helps this effect and so does the giraffes body posture- the golfing swing.



This is one of the posters for the Renault Kangoo car. It shows the Kangoo car which has got its brakes on waiting for a tortoise and a rabbit to cross a zebra crossing. The way I could tell the car had its brakes on is because the front suspension was down and the back end of the car was quite high.



This image is another Renault Kangoo advert which shows a cyclist biking up a hill which has the Kangoo parked at the top of it. I like the mud effect on the cyclists back as it makes it look as though the mud has flicked up from the wheels of the bike.
