The exhibition by Travis Townsend was very interesting and unique. The exhibit itself did not seem to flow together in a certain way but all of the pieces had similarities. I liked how two of the bigger pieces displayed on the floor had attachments to the wall with string. It made me look deeper into what was in front of me. I also noticed that a lot of the artwork had targets on them which I really enjoyed because it was so different. The colors that he used were warm pastel-like colors that fit very well with the idea of the exhibit. What I found most interesting about the exhibit was how the artist used different types of wood for all of the pieces. The one piece that I really liked was the picture I have displayed called "Target on Wall". This piece was made with acrylic and mixed media on plywood. I really liked this piece because the artist took something so simple, a target, and made it into art by adding different colors to the rings. The target also appears to be on a brick wall which adds so much detail to the piece that it looks real. This piece is also very abstract with its circles and squares which I enjoy to see in artwork.
I think the artist did a good job of displaying this exhibit and I believe his work lives up to his statement. I enjoyed seeing how he creates pieces that display good and bad, like the war tanks he used in this exhibit with calm colors all over them. There are good things and bad things about war and I think he displayed them very well. I like how he mixed so many different things in his pieces from little doodle drawings on random pieces of wood to creating huge objects from the little doodle drawings. I also liked his choice of color and how they were mostly warm tones considering some of the ideas he talked about were a little disturbing. I enjoyed seeing this exhibit and it made me think of art in a way I would have never thought of.
