ART VIEW; HUMAN FIGURE IS BACK IN UNLIKELY GUISES
In Michael Brenson's article he states how the human figure cuts through all nations and cultures. The human figure through out every culture and artistic style is seen as an icon and symbol. Any viewer of an art work can look at a painting and recognize the figure as a representation of a person. The human figure has been used throughout many different cultures as a way to represent and humanize certain aspects of life not completely understood by the human psyche; such gods, changing of the seasons or even emotional states. One particular statement he makes that pertains to my paintings is how he notice in the new human landscape the human figure tends to float. With my first few painting, the figure I placed within them are floating with no indication as to a ground. The last few of my painting I changed this by leaving some white space against the colors. In doing so it gives the painting a sense of grounds while still some what floating with in the colors.
