                      HANG OVER


Fred Tomaselli can be described as a postmodern artist. First of all, he uses the postmodern strategy, re-contextualization in his painting, Hang Over. An  example that shows this are the hands on the tree in the center. This shows re-contextualization because the artist has put the hands in a new context. No longer are they body parts, but they are leaves. In addition, he used layering when he created the colorful necklaces. He had to draw the strands over each other to give the image that they are dangling.
