Bio: Jonathon Gitelson is a Chicago based artist who focuses on the use of familiar objects and everyday people in his work. His work is notable for its emphasis on ideas and concepts along with its integration of multiple kinds of media. He works mainly in photography to preserve his images, but many of his works are constructions that must be photographed to be viewed. He also works with videos posters and different kind of construction and public arts pieces.
Opinion: Overall, I like Gitelson's work for its ideas. Gitelson's work quickly expresses many different ideas quickly. In this way Gitelson is a modern artist. His works are both aesthetically pleasing and challenge the thinking of the viewer. For these reasons I enjoy Gitelson's work both on the level of someone who is simply looking for a unique image and also for the many and deeper conceptual ideas of his work.
