Painting 3 step one first painting

artists that reflect my painting 3 assignment

felix clement

his work is like my idea because of vast size of nature but the industrial view is obviously meant towards destruction of this beauty but still is kept in tact by the painting.

David Teter

the close view of nature and industry competing is close to my work but dose not have the dramatic cascade of depth like mine

joseph wright

he is working in the idea of sublime nature by this "green architecture" still is coming through such power

George Innes

same as clement.

these artist make industry step back from the viewer but i believe to put them battling nature for the spotlight, because in my world of western society that is what is happening.

mark made a great suggestion to look into romanisque architecture. this might be a different way to potray a point same as french revoultionary artist. Ex) David, Oath to Horati. by using a story of the past to create a narrative for the current.

Paul Mullins for another semester

These are my studies for step one, Painting 3

The high point in doing these studies I gained the understanding of how to create a fully in depth painting with a centered amount of ideas and what i want to attempt, but i feel many want me to put their ideas into my work which distrupts me from my course. i did become bogged down by the end of this process wanting to develop into the next steps for this assignment, but i will be creating more studies for different vantage points and paintings.

SO AM I FOR INDUSTRIALZATION OR NATURE? conceptual or formal.

      i want to create a balance in my life and place the viewer where i stand by being ambiguous and just wanting to create something visually different.

Bending Dimensions of Reality

            Looking over the horizon, I see our humanity grow like an endless avalanche with more and more everyday without any fear in sight to be found. World’s clash of symbols of good/evil, pure/un-pure, and with nature versus industrialization. I question the viewer of what becomes more important to preserve, our feats of mankind or beauty that needs no modification?

            Perceiving perception in a two-dimensional box world of computers, phones, and televisions that keep the living driven by machines. Has depth in far-sighted vision been forgotten in western society from our forced need to gaze upon these screens giving us quick release from work driven society? This project is to combine an understanding and respect for nature/industrial living as they clash together on the canvas by the usage of the style, mixed media painting to depict my perceived visual life with an artistic touch made for visual pleasure as one ponders western living.

            Combining mediums from far to near to create an illusion of depth on the canvas. Working from low pigment transparent watercolor in the atmospheric background following layer by layer of perception landscape/industrial buildings towards the foreground. Working from gouache to acrylic and to oil paints with cascading mediums of thickness of paint/brushstroke will create this perception for the viewer to bestow in their mind.

            Wanting to take depth another layer deeper, using modeling past to create a physical aspect of creating depth on a canvas as painting might be classified as “sculpture.” In the foreground buildings and nature have a layer of modeling clay underneath with the more luscious oil paints to give the viewer closeness feel just as “real life.” Wanting to create this illusion of depth is for the study, viewer, and personal pleasure. Looking into a painting with multiple layers kicks thyself into a positive trance creating a story with no story to be institutionalized. Life is based through layers as we create labyrinths and ways to solve these puzzles/mazes going deeper in complexity/hardship to show our valiant efforts in life as Theseus did for Ariadne.

With music replicating life with deep complexity and universal love based on multiple self-clashing/ flowing layers reminiscent of these labyrinths that take an audience deeper and deeper creating a western derived story. Music goes hand and hand with visual art as much as a child needs a hand to cross the street. Consisting of several layers of replicating sounds to create a flowing story to be heard, but western living has accelerated this peace of the past simplicity in composers. Modern music is generally overthrown with clashing sounds and noise that would have been burned at the stake in past centuries, but as we rush with time an artist replicates current life consciously or subconsciously. An example of westernized sound fighting its very institution would be dub reggae, jazz, punk, and all electronic. With a stylistic incorporation of sound waves on the industrial foreground to design a metaphor for human interaction as we overlap our life levels together.

            The shape of the canvas is for aesthetic wall reasons as a shape other then another box is bestowed on a wall. As we combine convoluting lives of different cultures or squares as they become one and one can only think “outside one box.” The scale is large to replicate actual vision for the viewer and to keep them wrapped into a self-created story. With replicating buildings that are clarified as “Green Architecture” we remove from time driven beauty to show our feats of western production. Grab the Charging Bull of Wall Street by the horns and conquer to escape Babylon.
