Art Review, Week 4

REVIEW ETHOS My ethos when it comes to reviews and the mechanics of the way my opinions function in its truest alignment, is not much really needs to be said. Therefore it is allowed and should be brief, extending it would be just useless words. The art showcased is ONLY shown if something is felt, there will be no other pictures of art that did not register or provoke something in me. The curation IS the review. If I walk into the museum, gallery, or street and nothing responds-no matter how acclaimed-I will NOT showcase it.

Love.

Asian Arts of the 19th & 20th Century

Seeing art made from different materials, different ethos almost completely disconnected from what the other side of the world is doing at the same time is an interesting thing to realise when witnessing and walking through all this art, because on the west the art is of such a different…thing. 19th century European art, there is so much going on so much depth and shading of colour where as eastern is so simple in such a beautiful way. This allows it to be intentional, there is one shade of this color in the painting not a gradient and a plethora of different hues, it feels like I can breath and relax in these paintings, where east is always a holding of breath, being put into a world as you feel a small glimpse of time, often pivotal or monumental moment.

Goodies-

Pattern, Symbols, Intention, Colors.

Colors-not same as western shades.
