( even asymetrical compositions we believe are really unique actually have a lot more in common with other pieces than we might think) and I guess I was just thinking that if you were half-assing the idea then you may as well go with a more interesting compositon- but you're not half assing the idea so you have to make the composition work. I believe if the triangle is meant to represent stability, then having the chaos imposed upon it and going into it's edges don't do a good job of visually showing that. Crisp clean lines and having the triangle one flat color would greatly enhance the visual battle between a flat area of color and energetic brush strokes trying to impose themselves upon it; and the visual must go along with what you are trying to say- it is not enough to have an idea, make a piece with that in mind, and think the idea will transmit itself through the artist to the painting to the viewer by magic. Sometimes we are lucky and it happens by accident, but that is often not the case.</p> <p>Also, you have some "bands" of stronger, less broken color that are coming for the triangle, and I feel it would do good to the piece to try and enhance them. Actually you have a lot of " hinted" stronger shapes in the image that could be brought out. The brush strokes already create the chaos, so use these color shapes to clarify the direction of it's force- which is headed towards the triangle.</p> <p>I haven't mentioned color in these posts because I don't see anything wrong- or something I think needs/could use improvement with what you have. </p> http://www.punaji.com/topic/im-still-alive#post-5132 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:43:50 +0000 quark 5132@http://www.punaji.com/ <p>The centre is pivotal to the composition and thematic elements of the piece, as is the square composition. Part of the project was to create some sort of commentary using the symbol, and my aim was to create this tension between order and chaos, which is meant to mirror the internal and external forces and psychological struggles experienced by the individual. The triangle (not delta) is meant to represent the stability we as unique individual strive for amidst the bombardment of information and psyches every day, and the kind of pressure that imbues upon us.</p> <p>Therefore, structure here is of the utmost importance, and having an asymmetrical composition would take away from my intended effect. I toyed with the idea of what you suggested, but I wanted it to feel more like the triangle is being surrounded on all sides. It would be interesting I think to play with positioning to maybe emphasize being backed into a corner by these senses, but for the sake of this project, I liked the central orientation.</p> <p>This has definitely been a process and a matter of trial and error for sure. A lot of firsts are being incorporated here. If I were to have more time, I would probably make another one and try different things and such, but really I just don't have the time to experiment. This is due Monday. Thanks for the suggestion though man. They definitely came to mind as I came up with my final idea.</p> <p>Also, some fun little progress animation:<br /> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/AlienQuark/versaillesinprogress.gif"> </p> http://www.punaji.com/topic/im-still-alive#post-5131 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:10:26 +0000 forgottenfigure 5131@http://www.punaji.com/ <p>You might punch me for this but why the center? It currently doesn't have the power of an "Iconic" composition, so perhaps a more asymetrically balanced composition may be better. Since abstract doesn't have a representational figure we can give ourselves an attachment to, the artist needs to focus even more on composition as the piece is non objective. Now, Delta is fucking cool, and its obvious like a " signature" symbol for you ( mine is the lovely omega :3) but you should attribute a relationship to this symbol and try and represent to us what that is. Perhaps use what you have as a base, and maybe put a glaze over all of this so that the current delta is only partially concealed? ghost images like that can be interesting- let the process and " mistakes" and alterations work for you. </p> http://www.punaji.com/topic/im-still-alive#post-5130 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 22:44:30 +0000 quark 5130@http://www.punaji.com/ <p>Next project:</p> <p>Before...<br /> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/AlienQuark/e1565df1.jpg"></p> <p>After!<br /> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/AlienQuark/2bd83cec.jpg"></p> <p>Still got quite a ways to go on this.
