Most likely I'm telling this each time I'm writing about an exhibition, but this one was really interesting. It was called Transitional Contrasts and let's see if you understand what the artist meant by his paintings.
First impression counts a lot and this was what I saw when I stepped into the gallery. A number of colorful abstract paintings. Abstract is a bit harder to read for me, not that I'm an expert in the rest.
When I saw this painting, I knew I'm not going to have an easy job. This one is called Traces. Well, there are traces of paintbrush on the canvas for sure.
Tornado
How would you illustrate a tornado on canvas, in abstract style? Is this one of the version you could do? Definitely yes. A tornado is not a nice thing, but can be really colorful, especially if you look at what's usually left behind.
Three Little Birds - B. Marley
I looked at the painting and could not see one single bird, let alone three. Then something looked suspicious. What does B. Marley mean/ Does it man what I think it means? When I came home, ran a search and got the confirmation that I was right. Here's the video.
Bob Marley has a song called Three Little Birds. I know Bob Marley, but only the most famous songs from him, I had no idea he had this song. Now, back to the painting. Do you see the song in the painting?
Under Water
I've never been snorkeling, but have seen countless videos of underwater life and was trying to decide if this is how underwater life looks like. Well, it could be. Although I'm not a huge fan of
Also, I think it was here when I realized the smell of paint. I've never sensed paint in any gallery till now. When I looked at the labels, most of the paintings were painted in 2023, so that's why the smell. Old paint doesn't have a smell.
Blue World
Most likely this is my world, even though you hear me saying I love orange all the time, but I wear a lot of blue. Confusing, isn't it? Well, there's an explanation for that, but this is not the place, nor the time to discuss that.
The Three Musketeers
Over the years I've seen huge paintings in major European galleries, but not in my city. This canvas was not huge, but wide. I don't know exactly how wide it was but must have been around 2m or even wider. Now, can you see why the painting is called The Three Musketeers?
Life on Mars? - D. Bowie
Here i knew exactly what this is about, but could not recall the song. However, YouTube is my friend as well, not just Google, so here it is.
How is life on Mars? Dunno, don't ask me as I haven't been there yet. Wen I go, I'll tell you.
Red Lights 1
Red Lights 2
Not to be confused with the Red Light District please.
Orange 1
Orange 2
Orange 3
This is a series of 3 paintings, pretty much each containing the same colors, but yet they have a different pattern. I tried to decide, which one I would choose and most likely I would go with the second one. What about you?
Abstract Landscape
Even though landscapes are hardly ever abstract, I liked this. Maybe if the ground would be less regular, would be even more fun.
Almost Sphinx
Green Rain
I love green, but my only problem with this was that rain is usually coming from above. Exception when the wind is so strong that outperforms gravitation and blows the raindrops in every direction. However, horizontal rain is not rally real.
