Week 3: MOCA (kheng2013)



MOCA website (Museum of Computer Art)

Interestingly, I like this display of work. I may not have assembled the flowers together the way this artist did, but it brings it's own feel in a old-fashioned, yet fresh way. The artist of this piece is Ariana Bauer. She mentions that her works presents "living somewhere between our world and an era long past." Her pieces is to take us on a journey into another time. She created this image by "using a technique that combines meticulously executed photographs with digital painting." It is what she calls a "digital mixed media." I agree that Ariana Bauer's creation does bring viewers to another time that may not be in the present time, which is pretty cool. This is a skillful way for her to get a way sometimes. Movies can take us to another place that is not in our current surrounding, but art pieces can do the same too. Below is the image:




Ariana Bauer: "My work is feminine, abstract, soft, often pink and purple, and constantly contradictory."

  2. This picture reminds me of the beach area where I live, hydreangeas everywhere...and we all let them dry to use in arrangements. Just the little splash of purple gives a nice contrast to the neutral colors.
