A brilliant and massive piece. (in context, was well liked by people there) Acrylic paint. Archival pen on canvas.
Why haven’t I posted much recently you ask. Well I’ve been to an art exhibit and related art shows in the last couple days and will be posting those over the next few days.
I’ll spread the posts over a few days. I’m sorry about the image quality, I hate taking pictures in public and did so quickly and hence badly.
This all comes from NCA. THE art school in Pakistan responsible for, well, the entire artistic culture of Pakistan.
Mostly stuff from students and recent students at that.
(Sorry I havent posted much folks, new job, hence busy)
Thank you for sharing this. I have mixed feelings about this piece.
There’s a lot to look at. They’ve obviously put a lot of time and skill into it, and it’s nice to look at, and I don’t want to sound like I don’t appreciate its merits, but I feel like I can’t appreciate it completely.
The top and bottom thirds are interesting and recognizable, but my brain has to work hard to piece together the busy middle section. I kind of wish they had done something like this: !parallelview@sh.itjust.works
That would take it from “wow, this is awesome” to “mind blowingly awesome”
I wouldn’t work very well to see it in real life, because you’d have to stand so far back you couldn’t appreciate the fine details. But it would be possible to arrange two close up photographs to get a 3D effect of the detail.
I stood there so close my breath was on the canvas! It was much better in person.
I just had to step back to capture the whole piece in one image.
That is insane
