Untitled

 This is "Untiled" by Five. The objective from the piece, is the colors. The insanity of it all, all analogous  colors with a splash of cool colors. I claim this as an abstract piece. It place with your emotions in a sense of wanting to break away, maybe gain freedom and develop. There is no foreground, background, or middle ground.  Completely organic I will say. Your eye has no complete direction, at first. Your eyes go in all directions. But what is the artist trying to communicate? You see the frustration, and very fast strokes. The visual elements as far as texture is very smudged. Most line work is horizontal. The shape is not geometric at it is all quite organic. To define this object in the center of the painting is like a human and or monkey separating, but within a paradox of moving within the "bodies". Otherwise the object would be undefinable, you would have to play with your own imagination to try to get a proper interpretation. As an abstract piece, it is very dark, despite the colors emitted through the painting.
  As a personal interpretation of this painting is chaos. The separation of two beings, or just one being completely distorted. You feel and almost hear the screaming of this painting. Senselessness and imbalance of emotion is oh so clear. I feel it is the never ending pain  of the artist. You see in his strokes, disorientation, almost bloody as well. Is it murder? Who knows, overall this is just such a powerful piece, that has left me breathless.

  1. Christina- this piece is made by the artist Juan Abreau- be careful when you are citing the works in your posts. You make very good observations of the visual elements, especially the organic shape and implied texture- (NOTE: these lines are VERTICAL not horizontal). And interesting personal interpretation!
