Although I felt like all the paintings look somewhat similar I feel like they all also had their own meaning behind them, which they probably did, but I just didn’t have time to see the lecture. But it was different from what I’m use to seeing in gallery’s, I’m not use to the life size paintings and the way she used the same colors in every picture to make them all have a different effect.I enjoyed looking at them due to the fact that I will have to be doing the same thing throughout the year in my life drawing class.
The picture I chose was probably the one everyone saw right away because it was different then all the others in the room. Other than just a full body painting she singled out the feet of a model and almost made a story with them. Instead of the all yellow paint running down the paper she used a bloody red mess running up the paper to indicate pain or discomfort. It doesn’t seem like it took much other then just pencil to draw the feet and a simple touch of red paint.
I enjoyed this painting the most because of the way she turned the painting around before she dripped the red down the paper. This Painting had the most effect on me because of it being signaled out compared to all the rest, its almost mysterious in a way as well, if you didn’t go to the lecture you don’t know why its just feet so it makes wonder why she singled out that particular body part. I’m also into the darker side or almost evil side of drawings and paintings and this particular painting felt that way and caught my attention right away so I would pick this one over them all.
