Today I'm back with some amazing paintings you may have never seen. I posted the first part of the exhibition this week already, but if you missed it, you can check it out here.
As I always say, when you go to an exhibition, you never know what you get, which is the good part, because everything you see comes as a surprise. That surprise can be good, bad, or neutral. This was a solo exhibition of Vera Dan and left me speechless the minute I entered the gallery. The funny thing is, if someone asks me what's my favorite style when it comes to paintings, my answer is I don't know, but when I see the exhibition, I can tell you from the first minute, if I like it or not.
Cherry On The Cake
A wonderful painting with a strange title. When I first looked at it, I thought the title would be Still Life but was wrong. But even if it would have been still life, it is a very unusual. Nevertheless, I love it. After all, art is not about creating something usual, on the contrary. The colors are perfect in my opinion and the fact that the items on the painting are so different from each other, is definitely a plus, it makes it more unique.
A glimpse into what you're going to see.
Eliza And Franki
This was a bit of a surprise. I love how Eliza is sitting there, looking at the snail and thinking, but the snail loos way bigger than we have here. Obviously there are bigger species, but I don't know if the ratio is real or an exaggeration of the artist. I love the light purple dress and the brown background, it's a perfect match in my eyes.
At The Crossing
This was a funny one and it actually made me smile for the obvious reason. Snails are known to be very slow, so a snail crossing must be a nightmare. Also, what you see here are two things that are repetitive on the paintings. One you already know, the other one you can guess. However, I love the sneakers and the jeans, breaking the mustard yellow with blue was a very good idea.
Vintage With Forget-me-not
This painting is so pleasant to look at, mostly because of the colors, but because of those two beauties, cuties sitting on the top of the brick. The blue of the flowers, the green and the color of the brick is just a perfect match in my eyes. I could make a nice print for a shirt or blouse, using pieces of the painting. This is obviously fantasy or more like a dream as I would never do it.
Dandelions
Another lovely one for several reasons.You could see two paintings with dandelions in my previous post I mentioned above. The little blue forget-me-not flowers and the brick were present in the painting above. Overall I love how the painting looks, bu can't read it. The bottom half looks like a reflection in a puddle, but it's not the exact copy of the upper half. I love it though.
Forbidden Fruit
I love this too :) I know, I sound like a broken record, but it's just lovely. You can notice the jeans and the sneakers again. I'd say it's a still life, but don't know if it fits the criteria. That single green apple in the hand of the person was a brilliant idea.
The Noble Onion
When i got in front of this painting, I had the impression that I've seen it before. Or maybe it was a similar one, I can't be sure. I love this too :)). Usually onions don't get much attention in art as painters prefer fruits of flowers, but here the onions look great. I love the legs without body or face and the colors as well. I'm not sure if I would hang this canvas on my wall, maybe in the kitchen, but it looks nice and it was a very good idea in my opinion. Unique as well. Jeans and sneakers again, please note :)
Composition With Candy Box
This was a bit strange and I'm not sure I see things clearly. That candy holder is made of porcelain as far as I can see, yet it is sitting on a water pipe, if I can see it correctly. There's a facet,a towel hanging on there, and the plug. Now is this scene in the kitchen? I suppose so as you don't bring the candy holder in the bathroom, I think. Really strange, but the execution is perfect.
This is a special kind of art I've never seen before, it's strange too to some degree, but I love it. I don't know about you, but I'd love to find out what you think of these paintings, which one is your favorite or why. So don't be shy, drop me a comment.
