Artprize IV

CD Cascade II

CD Cascade

I’m using the CD cascade as my photo to focus on this time, but I have to tell you about the exhibit that really caught my attention. Set in a corner of one of the venues was an exhibit which included several portraits of elderly people. The portraits were very well done and, from a distance, really portrayed personality in each of the folks represented. But then I got close and found out what a remarkable artist this was. painted into the lines of each persons face was a  life history. In hindsight, I wish I had photographed more of them. Look closely at the paintings I’ve put into the photograph section to the right.

Glitter Girl--made up entirely of sequins attached with pins

 

This was one of my favorite pieces at Artprize. It was absolutely beautiful, the detail incredible. I was surprised it didn’t make the top ten.
I’ve added some more pictures of other entries in the photograph section to the right of this post.

Artprize 2011

Wow. After two long afternoons of visiting the Artprize sites, I must say I am amazed by the talent and creativity of those artists who submitted their work. There are a few exceptions to that ‘creativity’ definition. A glass of water projected onto a wall by an overhead projector–really?

Most of what we saw was well worth the hours of walking around town. I’m posting a few photos today and will post more as time permits. If you weren’t able to see some of these, you’ll get an idea of what creative minds can do.

Enjoy!
