The element of surprise

8/2/2017

 
My friends and I always question if it's "good art" or not.... Perhaps cruel, however I judge by if its aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and/or if there was a thought process behind the piece.... Is there an unspoken dialogue?


Some of my favorite works are in which I am fooled by my initial thoughts.... Some comes from studying the artist, others it's just taking the time to absorb the piece and viewing it from a different perspective- be it up close, far away or at a different angle.


I wish I could give you good examples of pieces that I was blown away by having a different perspective- in consolation I'll show you works that could be a surprise to the viewer.


On that note the seattle art museum SAM has an amazing artist that you might enjoy... Yayoi Kusama- and her Infinitely mirrors... (it's like walking in another dimension) a play on light and space.....
