Another Abstract Piece

vsarts.org
 
Here we see another abstract piece.  This is another painting that does not really tell a story of any kind yet a lot can still be inferred from it.  The vertical line of yellow must have some important meaning as it is the only color except for the painting's blue background.  Also, the edges are a lot more white and lighter looking than the rest of the painting.  The artist definitely had some meaning behind what he or she was doing while painting this and he or she without a doubt wants the observer to ponder and think about what exactly a piece like this means.

No colors but amazing shades

This is another piece that lacks real colors.  The artist is so skilled with shading it doesn't really matter though.  While the entire piece is black and white each section looks so different from the last that it gives the observer a sense of color in it.

This is a very simple piece yet there is still so much to it.  Do the two clouds represent anything particular and is there a particular reason there are only two clouds?  What is the design on the hot air balloon and does it mean anything?  Is there a reason that the sky is so dark yet someone is flying in a hot air balloon still?  Is there even anybody actually in the hot air balloon?  No matter how simple a piece may be there are still always questions and meanings within it.

CGI Woman

This is another computer generated image.  I just like pointing out how far computers and computer graphics have come.  This woman almost looks like a real person even though she was created entirely from the mind and mathematical equations of the artist.

Simple sculpture

At first this sculpture looks simple and perhaps so some not very good.  A closer look however reveals much detail in it and even a somewhat realistic human face form as well.

Great Use of Red

Once again, another artist that makes great use of shades of black and white and amazing use of lines.  My favorite part of this piece is by far the red in the eyes though.  It makes the demon really stand out and have an evil look and aura to him.

Similar to my last post this artist is great with using one color, blue again, to make an entire eye catching piece.  This one however, definitely differs from that last piece I posted because this one is much more abstract and does not really tell any clear or definite story.

Amazing Colors

This artist does such an amazing job with colors and more than that with really just one color, blue, and different shades of it.  It's so cool how just one color can be used to create a breathtaking piece such as this one.

Words in Hair

I find the unique and odd things some artists do intriguing.  This artist chose to write different words in the woman's hair.  Were is not for all the words written haphazardly throughout her hair this painting would be a lot less interesting and would convey a whole different meaning.

I find it amazing how computers and computer artists can use real math equations and numbers to create such realistic looking art.  While not the same as hand painting or drawing computer art is still art just in different ways.

Simple but Still Good

This is a very simple and somewhat stereotypical piece in my opinion.  However, the artist works really well in creating the texture especially for the four paint colors by making them pop out and look 3D.  

Dinosaur

The lines in this are amazing.  There must be hundreds to thousands of them that all come together to make this dinosaur look very realistic.

Crazy

I had to post this piece just because it is so unique and different than another I have seen.  It really makes me wonder what the artist wants his or her audience to take away from this piece.

Abstract

This is an example like those we went over in class; a piece that really does not tell any type of story.  Nonetheless it still is artwork and definitely catches the eye and make the viewer think about what it means and what the artist is trying to convey.

Another Woman

The artist really does a nice job with the red hair.  Because the rest of this piece lacks color everywhere else the red really stands out and catches the eyes.

I like that this piece is somewhat realistic while at the same time many of the lines and colors give an unrealistic more abstract fee.
