My adventure into New York City with me friends and I, was amazing. We visited many different art galleries on west 25th street in New York, NY. I was amazed by how many galleries were lined up on this street. We went from one gallery to the next as I got to see the unique artwork from all the artists. The night was filled with excitement from the time I got in to the time I left. One particular gallery I enjoyed is Wonderstuck Praxis international art.
One particular piece from the Wonderstuck gallery popped out the most to me. The piece was untitled; the artist explained he didn’t want to take away from the piece. This is very unique and I like how there is no title. It leaves me hanging as to what I think it should be called. I think its great, as I looked at the artwork and thought of a title myself. When I looked at this piece it reminded me of my childhood when I would read Dr. Soose. It looks like a cartoon scene and very whimsical and exciting. The use of color is great. I love how in each of his paintings he uses bright vibrant colors. Most of his artwork was abstract with shapes and fun lines. I like how there is random things in the sky. Your eyes are not just fixed on one particular part but your eyes move across the painting.
I really like the way this painting makes me feel and brings me back to my childhood, a special time that meant a lot to me. A time when my family and I were on vacation in Aruba and went snorkeling to this very special spot we visit yearly. This painting is unique and filled with color and shapes. Its meaningful because it really makes me think of my past and the fun I had. If I could name it I would name it “The magical waters in the Caribbean” . A funny story my dad would tell me when we went to this very same spot in his stories. This is why I love this piece.
Continuing down 25th street we stopped at the Lohin Geduld Gallery. I looked at artwork from a particular artist named Mayumi Sarai. I was taken back by her sculptures she designed from wood. The carvings of the wood were magnificent. I have never seen artwork like this, I was shocked to see how many different pieces she made from the tree truck of a dying tree. She took nature that was no longer living and make artwork from it. Her unique taste grabbed my attention because everything I saw was like nothing I have ever seen before. It too me was truly a piece of artwork. You can tell by each piece the amount of time that was put into them.
With her particular pieces I like how its not all wall art. She has some that can be assembled on the wall, table or even in corner to fill up empty space in a room. Her artwork was all 3-d and you were able to physically touch it. I liked the artwork where you can look at all angels of it and still be looking at something different no matter where you were looking. I liked how big some of her art was. For example if you were trying to fill up a corner in your house or any space, one of her pieces would fit perfectly because of how big it was and the uniqueness of it would draw the attention to the corner and it wouldn’t just be a boring corner but a corner that was filled with excitement.
My trip to New York was amazing. I liked looking at all the artwork and how each artist had something different and sentimental to share. Each work had a story to share. Some artwork was easily identified but others were not. This is one reason why I enjoy looking at art. It makes me feel good inside, and brings happy thoughts to me. Art is like a stress reliever, if you’re admiring someone else’s, or creating it yourself makes me release my stress and calm me down. Because of this great adventure into New York, my boyfriend and I are going into Philly so he can show me some of his favorite artworks. I’m excited to say that this adventure was a good time and I look forward to another trip.
