Art Meets Music: Koby Martin, Marco Polo, Samuel King & More Creativity

This edition of Art Meets Music was better than the last in my opinion, not to discredit previous shows, but I throughly enjoyed this edition. A lot of talented artist were displaying their work, the artist included Wizzy Wow, Koby Martin, Marco Polo, Mathew Vieira and The Illestrator. 


I particular liked Koby Martin one of his pieces caught my attention,the canvas showed a newborn baby floating with an Astronaut. I liked this picture because it was unusual it made me think hard, what could the idea behind it be. My thoughts lead me to think it was about mankind and destruction. Babies represent purity and new life whereas an Astronaut represents planets, rockets and to some degree missiles. Other than attempting to decode the painting I think the talent behind the art is incredible, the detail and colouring shows passion.

Another artist that caught my attention was Marco Polo, his work is quite different from Koby Martin. Marco Polo's work is more relaxed, what you see is what you get. The pictures convey a message to you straight away. The art speaks to you through its caption, speech bubbles and the identifiable person Marco Polo decided to paint.

As well as art on display there were talented musicians and poets, a young man named Samuel King graced the microphone with hard hitting spoken word. His poem 'Being a Gentleman',really intrigued me he spoke about the qualities of a man. He spoke about how in todays society these values of a man have become lost.
