Gallery Visit

On my trip to the gallery i picked out a painting i thought could be related to time. The picture was a mountain scene from Norway and was painted in 1885. Initially the towering mountains drew me into the picture but as i walked closer it was actually the stillness of the water that was running through the middle. The picture had captured a moment in time but what really struck me was that if you were to go back to the place where this was painted in 2010 the picture would look reasonably the same. Only the very small details would have changed.

Time does not always have to be passing by quickly, sometimes the small changes are the ones easily missed. This has led me to think more about nature and erosion which is something i will be following up in my next blog...

On Kawara

Very interesting artist in his portrayal of time. He painted the month, date and year of each day. The same colours were usually used and the same type would be painted perfectly. If however he did not get his painting finished on the day he started it he would always destroy it. It is almost like if he did not reach the goals of the day the time would have been wasted.

Artists: Time

Martin Puryear - Ladder for Booker T Washington

Depicting time: Huge ladder giving a false perspective of it almost going up into space. I think this represents the journey of life. It is quite nostalgic that when you are at the top you can look back down on your life and the runners are your achievements.

Paul Pfeiffer

Time passing by in nature as the sun rises and sets. The video takes a long time to watch as it is done in slow motion so that you can hardly see the sun moving. You can however see the birds more clearly because they are moving so slow so it is a good way to pick out details.

Project on Time:

My third year uni project is on the subject of Time. There are not many constraints to the project so i am going to conduct my initial research through my blog and see where it takes me.

Art 21 Website is the first thing I looked at and watched their programme on time. I will be posting up some interesting artists that I found on here shortly...

A-Level work

This is a cd cover i designed for the band Centurion. I took all of the photographs and painted the tree in the fore ground. Also did an advertising campaign for them which included the poster underneath.
