A Brief Look at the Work of Evan Holloway

The era this piece most represents is the Renaissance art in the fifteenth-century Italy. It goes best with this era because of its use of nudity and shape and lighting. Its use of space of sharp edges and sculpture figures. Also the use of lighting shows an almost 3-D like image. Even though this is a print it almost seems like a picture of statues. The artist also used a sense of scale and proportion in this piece. Every statue is differently scaled from the others. The body parts on each statue did not quite fit with the other body parts. Every statue is different in size, stance, and color. Also the background behind each figure is different from the other ones, in its use of color and detail.

Every soul will be judged and the good will go to heaven and the damned will go to hell. The sculpture vividly expresses the emotional intensity of what the afterlife will look like. On the left-side the sculpture shows “heaven” the figures show that they are at peace because they know their souls have been saved. The children are laughing and the angels are blowing their trumpets with joy in anticipation of Christs’ return. As for the right-side it tells of what “Hell” maybe like, demons are weighing the souls and claiming them. It shows people suffering, crying and realizing that they’re going to hell for

At 1st glance this piece does look like a photograph, even a painting, but this series is a work of mixed-media layered one on top of the other in a box. Yet this assemblage of random found objects, with the artists

A bronze sculpture consisting of just six rectangular shapes and a semi-rectangular base, this piece is very simple, and its minimalistic structure is similar to that of Malevich’s Supremacist Composition: Airplane Flying. From a certain angle, the sculpture resembles a figure stumbling and falling over the base, depicting some sort of motion. In this sense, it is similar to Boccioni’s Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, which sought to use air currents to symbolize a moving figure. The simplistic yet abstract nature of Shapiro’s work makes it feel right as home in the Modernist Revolution, despite the fact that Shapiro’s sculpture was made in 1991, more than 70 years after the Modernist Revolution occurred. In addition, Untitled is unlike any other “figure” sculpture we have studied thus far. Just about every major sculpture we have covered resembles some form of a human-like body, whether they be an actual human or a divine figure. Even Unique Forms of Continuity in Space possesses what appear to be legs, a head and a torso. The odd and minimalistic composition of Untitled means that is possesses no definite form resembling a human and could very well be meant to resemble something completely unrelated to human, quite possibly an inanimate object or even something that was not meant to be resembled. It is the only work of its kind present at the sculpture garden, and as such, it carries far more mystery than any other work

For example: John Davis has also created the artwork: Koan. It is built from twigs, cotton thread, calico and bituminous paint. Made in 1999, it is 20cm x

Towards the close of 1951, the artists working in Cheyne Row were asked to vacate their studios, the owners, in wanting to utilise all the buildings on the site. Harry Parr conceded that at the age of seventy, it was time to retire from modelling and sculptural work in general. When the time came for Parr to clear his studio during the last week of January 1952, Malcolm Parr, at home on leave from the Cameroons was there to lend a hand, recalling, It was one of those awful grey days, when my younger sister Bridget, and I helped Pa to smash all the plaster piece-moulds, he’d zealously kept over the years to make his beautiful earthenware figures. When we begged without much hope, that he should save some of them, he defended his act

It feels like that there is no one around to be with and socialize with, kind of barren like. This photo makes me feel lonely inside and makes me a little depressed. It also makes me feel a little scared and I'm not curious to see what is on the other side of the bridge. Other people’s mind leads them to wonder what is on the other side of the bridge and what is behind or inside the tower in the background. The clouds swirling around the moon and how it is very sharp and pixelated. The house to the side of the background gives off a creepy vibe that is unsettling to me and other people that look at this photo the Clarence John Laughlin took. I imagine that when he was was taking these pictures and thinking about where he would take them he was going through a dark time and he thinks his past and when his father died he portrays that in the photos he takes. This photo gives off mixed emotions for me knowing his history but how this photo is titled “passed to never land” he tried to make this photo less tragic and heavy but more upbeat and light. This picture kinda makes my heart feel a little cold and that no one likes me or understands all the things i'm going through in my life. Im sure that when others would see this picture they would see a man who is lonely and scared and has no one to talk to. Also, they would think that he has been through alot in his life and he does an amazing job with demonstrating this in this

Richard Hunt’s Outgrown Pyramid #1 uses geometric and organic elements to portray a living, breathing being, even though the piece itself is a solid structure. The sharp pyramidal structure is elongated at the front, while an L-shaped, angular structure is affixed to the back of it. Although Hunt primarily uses lines and angles throughout his large piece, he utilizes curves to portray something that is in motion. By

From the base of the arm climbing upward are third-dimensional sculptures of men, women, and children shaped in almost a skeletal like form. Each face is carefully crafted to project sadness, agony, or despair. Every expression tells their story.

Almost every human being is afraid of the idea of death and is shown clearly in the painting. The hooded mask man or creature could possibly be a representation of death because of the colors in the painting and the reaction of the group of men. Not only is there a portrayal of death, but there is possibly a portray of man. It is shown in the leader of the group of men, who is dressed different than the rest of the others. He is the first one to scatter since he is afraid of death. Contrary to popular belief, the leader is suppose to be the one who fights off all evil but is doing the exact opposite in the painting. He has trampled over his men in order to save himself. I find myself thinking of death and what a terrifying idea it is to think that no matter how fast or far we try to run away from the incident, death is inevitable. The artists uses dark colors to represent a dark time in life. The scratched up lines can possibly represent that nothing is perfect, not even drawing straight lines or coloring in the lines. I appreciate the artists honestly but dislike how the painting leads me to think about death and responding to the actions of the

I want to draw attention to this piece because it resembles ideas and emotions, like I had experienced with Together. The whole idea to this particular piece is that it was meant to speak of a message. The message is in the title, so it was made to portray a last message to the people. The Last Judgment is a stone sculpture that was placed in the beginning of church. It was meant for people to see what the forms of an afterlife where they could end up if they belief in an afterlife, which is a Christian belief. This would support the statement that both pieces of artwork had a hidden message displayed through both of them. One has a message to the people of the church, while the other piece speaks to a community in a particular

The reason I this piece of artwork appealed to me was because of the vivid use of colors. The bright pastels of pinks, yellows, blues and purples caught my eye and drew me in. They created a bright, relaxed, elegant and uplifting feeling to the setting. What I thought was interesting was that at first glance you see a woman, but rather than looking joyful, she seems upset or confused. Due to the colors of the setting I imaged the women’s emotion would match the bright and uplifting colors. I thought the artist’s choice of color was unique because I would typically imagine the colors to be gray and black with the emotion of confusion and sadness. It really causes the viewer to have to examine the image as a whole as well as piece by piece.

This piece illustrates two faces, one smiling and the other frowning, accompanied by words placed around the print in a seemingly random order. The two faces are placed in the center of the print, while the words, “Beyond,” “Good,” “and,” and “Evil,” are positioned around the edges of the print. “Beyond” is printed horizontally, and “Good” is printed vertically with the base of the word being faced toward the right end of the print. “And” is printed on the bottom left corner of the print, with the left end of the print as the base, and “Evil” is printed in the same manner as “Beyond” in the bottom right side of the print. Located around the faces in the center are smaller printed words being, “originality,” “danger,” “imagination,” and “self-assertion.”

Hello Aurelia, the piece of art you chose to review is eye catching. Immediately my eyes were drawn to it because of the bright and bold colors that Romare Bearden used. When viewing this painting I feel alive, alert, and happy. The reason I feel this way is because of how the artist brings bright colors and smooth yet edgy shapes into his painting. The background does seem to have a moving effect. I actually did not notice that until you had pointed it out. Although the human figures in this painting are not completely realistic. It does give the audience the sense or feeling of the painting “coming to life.” I think you did a good job on explain this piece of art created by Romare Bearden. I also enjoyed learning that you like Jazz music.

The artwork, “Number 10,” by Mark Rothko displays two rectangles (top, yellow and the bottom, white) with a baby blue background color. Seeing the painting for the first time was surprising since I didn’t understand how it correlated with the title. It was easy to look at, but it didn’t catch my attention right away! I felt confused and frustrated while observing the piece because I didn’t know how I was going to find the meaning that lay behind the painting. This reminded me of my first-born nephew; I had such a difficult time trying to understand why he would cry so much. However, I was aware that crying was his way of communicating how he felt, just like painting this abstract piece was Rothko's style of communication.
