3 Gallery Viewings

I had gone to Furlong Gallery to view my three pieces.
"From the Earth to the Flesh and Back Again" (diptych) Carey Dean Oil/Canvas
Carey's two piece dyptich contrasts warm and cool shades of what seems to be a nature seen combined with elements of being able to see a life form emerge from it. The baron dried desert look of almost death compared to the lush environment contradicting it. It almost shows the highlife and lowlife of this one region, the struggle of life and death. The lines flow with many contour lines moving your eye around the piece.
"FLOTSAM" Bryan Ritchie Charcoal/Paper
Floating inflatable ducks suspended in a sea of what looks like crinkled paper with the use of foreshortening along with atmospheric perspectuve makes the piece move front to back. The sea of paper is very carefully smoothed while the inflatable ducks have a cartoonish movement about them trying to show their floating coarse. The ducks have very thick lineweights not particulary paid attention to; all with mysterious eye.
"Sequena 30" Jada Schumacker Digital Print
My first impression is seeing this very bold image with strict vertical stripes. Each stripe that I look at seems to jump off the page at me. It's contrasting colors lying next to each other seems to blur the page together. The longer you look at the image the more blurred and cross contaminating the colors get. You need to keep blinking to keep focus. The three white stripes throughout the piece keep bringing my eyes back to the whole piece. The rounded corners add another aspect of taking the image to the wall.
