Sébastien Thibault

Sébastian Thibault also caught my eye during the presentation. Similarly to Aleksandra Niepsuj, his images combine two elements of the conversation together, creating a perfectly communicated visual metaphor. Although, I would argue that I find his work, not to demean Niepsuj's, even more dynamic in its simplicity. I think this lays in his ability to manipulate common place symbols into something more exciting and inventive, without his images appearing cliché or overdone. 


Unlike Aleksandra Niepsuj, however, aesthetically I find Sébastian Thibault's work pleasing but not overwhelmingly exciting or interesting. Its certainly not a style or medium I would strive to emulate and recreate myself, but again I would not be unhappy if my work looked like this either. I think for me it just lacks character and personal flair.
