Insano – Art

Insano is a multi-colored, erratic piece using broad, almost violent strokes and a complementary color scheme to product a vivid and disturbing image of mental illness. The strange and unpredictable shapes featured in this painting are disturbing. Broad swirls connote movement that is whirling and out of control. The features of the painting seem wild and barely restrained by the paintings loose structure. The underlying danger that seems ready to break free is ever-present in this piece.

Today’s creativity

Today I am going to work on some poems and work on the creative writing that goes with the paintings.

Mastec Hate – Art

mstaylorwebb — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:10:00 +0000

The freeform piece titled Mastec Hate relies heavily on the creative use of color to give the painting depth and meaning. A hazy gray background dominates the painting, giving this piece the look of the sky on an overcast day. This gray, cloudy background gives the piece a gloomy mood. The clouds are forbidding, and they allude to the “hate” mentioned in the painting’s title. A dark line travels across the painting, and two small shapes, one green and one black, also appear in this piece.
Except for the green block that appears in the painting, this piece is a monochromatic work in gray and black tones. This choice of color gives the painting a dark, moody feel. The monochromatic color scheme also highlights the green image in the painting, which is the only incidence of color in the entire piece. Perhaps this is the object of the hate the painting has called up. As the color of greed and money, the green block may represent selfish interests that are worthy of the painting’s hate. This green block is an image of worldliness and greed, and Mastec Hate becomes a condemnation of these negative forces in the world.

Foci Point – Art

This piece reveals an abstract form in charcoal. Arms that converge at a single point link three hollow circles. The lines of the form are thick and strong with some blending and shading along the edges. The triad of circles is lined up in an even row. The significance of groups of three has been a part of human consciousness for millennia. A set of three gives a natural sense of completion and finality. The number “three” brings to mind the Holy Trinity of Christianity, and it is featured in many folk takes, such as “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” It is a mystical number that appears in many ancient religions. In ancient Babylon, people believed in three primary gods. Also, there were three distinct character traits of the Egyptian sun god. The prevalence of the number three is a testament to its natural place in the human psyche.

The mystical and spiritual characteristics of the number three are enhanced by the artist’s color choice. Black is a strong and mysterious color, equated by many with success and power. Yet it is often associated with death, mourning, and evil. By combining this color with the significant number of three, a highly suggestive and mysterious mood is created in the painting.

People often dream of things that could have done in their past. By this time next year, they will be saying what they coulda-woulda-shoulda done. You can make your dreams come true.
