Today I looked at Kim Banister's exhibit Evolving. All of her work was done from charcoal, pastel, and linseed oil except some that use mixed media and linseed oil. She is a firm believer that all of her drawings and drawings in general is a process in developing the finished piece. There's a line drawing then after that comes the layers of the different things the artist is going to use whether it be paint,charcoal or anything else you may use.
Most of the pieces were large in size and those pictures were not framed. There were a few smaller pieces that contained light brown frames.
I personally enjoyed all the pieces. When I looked at the pieces I automatically felt different then I did before I looked at the different pieces. Every piece I looked at I sensed a lot of emotion in them. From all the different positions the figure was in I wondered what was going on. However, my mind would not have to wander to far to sense the emotion in the piece. It was something that I felt right away. Some pieces you really have to think hard about what's happening constantly asking yourself questions to figure out the piece. In this exhibit everything I looked automatically striked a feeling of emotion almost feeling bad for some of the different pieces.
