As a Curator, I put all these four artwork together in one space as these distinct colors in each art work depicts an human emotions. The first art work by Alyssa Piro depicts human emotions through the eyes of the artwork. The gloomy eyes depicts the emotions of sadness and anger. Also she has displayed these artwork at different floors with the same expressions showing that like-minded individuals going through the same emotions with same expressions. The second "Gamut" artwork by Jeremy Mazzenga , shows different colors which can be translated into a different human emotions where different isolated colors were captured together in an image depicting the emotions of seduction, exhilaration and the actuality. The third artwork "Rainbow (IV)-what is ghosts" by James Case - Leal where all the seven colors of the rainbow on the black canvas depicts the emotions of spirituality, wisdom, vitality, passion and creative energy with each colors of the rainbow. However, the black canvas adamantly depicts the secretive unknown, a mystery where emotions are mostly expressed by the huge dark surroundings. Lastly, the fourth artwork "Ghost Dance"by Esteban Cabeza De Baca depicts an human unconsciousness blended with reality with the painting of moon through the spiderweb and unconventional humans. It also depicts the humans abstract emotions with the different shades of colors such as blue, white, black, and the little bit of purple. The different shades of color in these paintings depicts the emotions of the improbable and the transcendent we go through that we wanted to blend with our reality. In conclusion, all these artwork ties together to depict the different human expressions with different emotions of despair, sadness, exhilaration, passion, mystery and the uncertainty of human's emotions.
The audience for my exhibition is any ordinary person, who is willing to think, explore these artwork with their inquisitive mind. It is important to have their own interpretation on the different colors to human emotions and give a meaning to the colors through how they perceive it, which is an individual's artistic conception and exposition.
I think it's a good concept, and your choices of artwork do suggest that color is acting as a representation of emotion. It's good that you went piece by piece, describing how each work expresses this idea.
ReplyDeleteYou could have been a little more specific about the mood that the show tries to capture. Almost all the work in the show had some color, and could be described as communicating an emotion.
For me, your show presents a fragile or wounded emotion; the tiny bit of joy in a field of black depression, the welling up of redness in the cheeks after a harsh insult, the fragmentary feeling of being overwhelmed and not knowing exactly how/what to feel.
Either way, I think your show is a good one.
