There were lots of paintings and sculpture inside the art gallery I went to. I never went to an exhibit of art and this class has made me open new doors and new experiences. It was a very neat experience for me.
The best impression I had was all the bright colorful paintings in the exhibit. The Peasant in the Fields is a good example. You can't really tell in the photo but the paintings are mostly in strokes. It was quite interesting because it seems so easy to draw but in reality really difficult. The second painting that really intrigued me was the acrylic painting. It had bright colors and I loved the way the colors gradient faded with each other.
The paintings that I felt connection was pretty hard to find. I found some paintings that actually related to me in some way. The painting that is titled Convergence was a great way to depict me. It has multiple strokes and different paints but is messy, yet so beautiful. The second painting that I related to was one of my favorite artists from Georgia O' Keefe. Out of the whole art gallery I was able to only spot one painting from her, so I put this painting up.
One painting that I would really like to know more about is the untitled painting from Celentano. It makes me use my imagination to expand the shape in the middle. It is an odd looking shape but very compressed. I want to learn how the artist came up with this idea. The next painting is called Card Players. I was looking at this painting to figure out how the title came to be. It seems canvases are lost in some kind of time warp. It seems like they are going around in circle, and want to get out but there is no way and the canvases are just stuck. This painting was really interesting since I was actually looking at this painting in a circle and my eyes were going in circles.
Nice analysis of the paintings. I really like the Card players painting I think it is very interesting and plays tricks with your mind. It also appears to take many different meanings.
