Step 2:
A – Two
artworks made a huge impression on my while I was at the Gallery.
The first one was Polarity
by
Peter Sedgley which was created in 1966. It is made out of acrylic
paint on canvas. When I first looked at it, all I could think about
was Saturn, but the longer I looked at it, the more possibilities I
saw. The other artwork was created in 164 and is called Bois-tiges
de fer (Wood-Iron Rods) by
Jesus Rafael Soto. It was created with painted Masonite and wire. I
looked at this piece for a long time. I tried to figure out if there
was a word written within the wire, but every time you moved, so did
what you were looking at. It impressed me because I really enjoy
artworks that can constantly change.
B –
I
made a connection with the first set of stairs in the Gallery. They
are colored with vinyl tape. It is an artwork called Zobop
(Stairs) by
Jim Lambie in 2003. I tried walking down the stairs and had a hard
time finding where each stair ended and the next began. Going back
up the stairs was just as hard. I really liked this because it made
me think of an event in my life that reflected the idea of blurred
lines. The other piece was created in 2003 as well and was acrylic
paint on canvas. It was called Gray-Blue
from Series “Fog” by
Susie Rosmarin. This was another painting that made me stare at it
for a long period of time. I felt like I lost myself in it.
C – This
final category is about the artworks that I would like to know more
about. Clifford Still created and oil painting on canvas in 1950
called October 1950.
When I looked at it, it reminded me of a map of the world. The red
part makes me think of Russia and the constantly changing borders. I
would like to know the real meaning behind this painting.
Jean-Pierre Yvaral used vinyl cords and painted wood in 1962 to
demonstrate her artwork called Acceleration
#15, Series B. This
made me wonder what she was trying to say with the constant swirl
within the design.
When I was at the art gallery I as well really enjoyed the Polarity. It does kind of remind me of Saturn! It was so big and pretty I couldn't stop looking at it. I agree with you every time I moved I thought it moved too!
ReplyDelete*** The wood iron rods- everytime you moved it seemed like it was moving as well.
