Twisted
"Unexpected!"- my reaction
Recently I went into Marcus Ashley gallery in Lake Tahoe. I love walking into galleries to see if there are type of works I have never seen. This gallery did not disappoint. I saw the works of Andrew Gonzalez and Steve Barton.
Andrew's work was ghostly black and white images. They pulled you in because they were unlike anything I have seen before. Amazing images in black/brown and white.
Steve's work stood out differently. The art was OK by itself. BUT what he did with the art was everything. The canvas was twisted onto a wooden structure. Amazing 3D effect. The images combined with the frame pulled you in.
I would have never created a twisted canvas. Most canvases are flat and the art fools the eye into a 3D look. Steve twisted the given and created a niche. He did not settle for the norm that we all expect.
Today's question is:
"What is else flat that should be twisted?
