C&P #4 diptych

real world

[artofagarin]

I like how you managed the concept here. Both pieces connect well because the similarities in color and backgrounds. The subject "Real World" alongside the imagery you used makes me feel like both are exchange students that meet outside of their bubble. One has money and the other comes from a big city. It's just what I think though.

cut and paste #3 - static vs dynamic

[artofagarin]

Really nice concept you’re putting here. 

I would say the static composition is the first one, as they are both standing still alongside each other. Then, the dynamic one would be the second one, as the motion can be perceaved as the many lines there are in the flowers and the bodies. You can feel more of a dynamic movement in that one.

Copy & Paste #3

One static and one dynamic that display the same concept. 

The concept of both these pieces is fire.

The static piece is called Sparks.

The dynamic piece is called Flames.

[artofagarin]

I love your work here, the idea of fire is a really interesting concept. Your static composition feels still by the way the lines are straighten. Your dynamic composition describes motion by the way the lines are all crossed and pointing towards different directions. Good and interesting job.

DIPTYCH - Cut & Paste #4

“Point of view” - Close mind vs Open Mind.

“I Started a Joke” & “All the Stupid Shit I’ve Said” by Wayne White.

Both pieces by Wayne White imply a message said by the author. 1st one implies that the author just started a joke, even the text is facing upwards instead of straight, symbolizing that what he just said is not to take serious. The 2nd one implies stupidity that was meant to be serious instead of a joke, but now he realizes how stupid all that was. 

Both paintings contrast starting with the background on each. I Started a Joke has a city while All the Stupid Shit I’ve Said has mountains, a lake and woods. Also, 1st has the text looking upwards as I mentioned before, and 2nd one has the text written straight. One is dynamic and Two is static. 

They connect in the fact that both texts have nothing to do with what’s behind them. Both texts are pink and both share a message of words being said before.

MIL041 by Dan Miller. (2019)

Shape and Color are clearly the prevalent formal elements on this composition made by Dan Miller. The color yellow appears to form two lightbulbs, on top of them we have countless of lines, some seem to form numbers and letters.          I believe the meaning of this piece is related to the artist block. Having that idea present on your mind but not being able to think straight to express it.

The effect of the formal elements are what makes this illustration possible to read. Color adds context. Therefore it shows message.

EMPIRE by Elizabeth Murray. (2001)

The content on this piece relies on space. I would say space it’s the most prevalent formal element; as it reflects on its name “Empire”, this illustrates a big and large figure. What I believe the message of this illustration would be is that empires can fall: Showing us an Empire built by tea cups, one on top of the other, being hold by a broken table. It clearly implies how fragile empires are. 

The colors used in this composition are mainly secondary colors, as it uses purple, green, blue, yellow, red, brown and orange to separate one piece from the other.

Art by Margaret Kilgallen.

HUMANITY.

This piece communicates motherhood. Our whole society is based on Motherhood as we all have a mother. Karen Kilgallen tries to demonstrate content with a very natural thing in all species, a mother with her baby. 

The use of colors might be to showcase the cicle of life.To catch our attention in the woman carrying the baby. Very beautiful piece.

Art by Barry Mcgee.

The use of color on this composition is really vibrant. I enjoy the imagery. To me, it implies how sometimes we do stuff we don’t want because of social pressure. 

To communicate content, Barry Mcgee uses a drawing of a man surfing expressing fear, as if he wasn’t used to the activity. On his back he’s carrying a ghost-like figure. I find meaning on that as if he’s being pressured to do surfing by someone else.

STRANGE by John Baldessari.

From his Gallery on Art 21, I picked “STRANGE” by John Baldessari, from album “The 1990′s”. With this piece, I believe Mr. Baldessari intended to create what at the time was a new context: the birth of the internet and computers thus then, the death of books. 

At a time when kids, teenagers and adults would start to rather watch TV and use the internet, seeing someone reading a book was starting to seem strange and uncommon to the eye. That’s how John Baldessari portrays this piece with simplicity, putting just a book in front of you, to remind you how strange it is to read one nowadays. The complexity recalls on the name, making you figure out why it connects with the illustration and the album’s name.

Time

[artofagarin]

I really enjoy looking at this composition! Time does feel like what it is. It makes me feel like I’m on a time vortex traveling to unknowing dates in history! It has a lot of unity, I can see all the lines pointing me into the same direction which makes me thing its focal point is that black spot at the center. 

It also includes variety as there's many lines from different colors, as if the time machine I'm using it’s causing them, and by the way, the stars at the top look very well placed. Good job.

FANTASY - Reality vs Imagination.

Cut & Paste #3 Static vs Dynamic.

mental struggle

[artofagarin]

I really like how you managed to create the feeling of mental struggle here. The imagery you used does give me the sense of not being able to free myself and having so much struggles trying it so. 

The way you used unity to point the arrows as if they were keeping the brain locked was brilliant, the space works very good; the sad clouds are my favorite part. Everything works perfect at a level of variety, in my opinion.
