Big Active ten to use a lot of different layers in their pieces, most of which are a combination of low-tech and high-tech piesces, they also tend to use collage to create a surreal look to their work.

A lot of the Big Active works seems to have a Pop Art style to them which is seen by the bright colours used in their work, some of the other pieces of their work has a surrealist look to them and almost look like something from a dream.

Their work always has a brilliand use of shapes and colours, this means that thier work can catch the eye of a view and due to the surrealist look, the view may find them interesting to view at.

I actually quite like some of Big Active's work as the wacky and surrealist look of their work shows that they have a great imagination.
