Art Gallery Visit #2

The title of the exhibit was Burchfield Exhibit! This gallery was way different from the first one that I went to at Albright-Knox art gallery. It was more open and very spacious compared to the other one. This one also had concerts and shows with auditoriums. At the Albright-Knox it was mostly paintings but REALLY colorful. One thing that stood out in this exhibit was the music. It was this eerie, gloomy music that played pretty well with the theme.

It was mostly all the same colors and layout. The floor was very spacious. Sometimes there would be random sculptures or paintings in the middle of the floor that you have to be careful about. The lighting was dim, of coarse so it wouldn't ruin the paintings. At this one there was no security guards that would yell at your or constantly breathe behind your neck. They politely asked us to take pictures without flash. One of my favorite and VERY unique thing was on the top floor there was this machine that was made of motion sensors and every time you move, it controls the water dripping down. I am really into technology and was fascinated by this. I had most of my fun in this machine.

The artwork was properly organized according to the exhibits. There were several but I forgot to take pictures. There were similar to watercolors and acrylic paintings but very different from Albright-Knox. I realized at Albright-Knox it was VERY colorful with bright colors and the paintings would stand out at you. Another unique thing about the Burchfield was that there were some comments box or places you can write about how you were thinking at that specific spot or painting.

The first one that stood out for me was Ultima Cena by Stephen F Saracino. Now this was clearly similar to the Last Supper with Jesus. But it was really interesting how it depicted the Last Summer with these animal. There was balance in this picture and shows quite a symmetry. The next artwork I selected was this wonderful photo from Patti Ambrogi. This was a photo made up of many small photos. I thought this was very neat! It shows contrast and was remarkable! The final artwork was The Forest Through the Trees from Hillary Fayle. This is a great example of proportion. It depicts a forest through a small leaf. I thought it was fantastic yet ironic.
