In art never say what what you created let the viewer tell you what they see.
lesson learned here. This series was created out of a feeling of being trapped. I created this abstract series depicting figure in bottles, thinking I saw them as being all BOTTLE UP. My viewers saw figures in yoga poses, others saw figures in vessels like the Greek art.My motto ask what they see before I explain my muse.

Love these!
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely open to multiple interpretations. They do seem more serene than feeling trapped would be.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! I love painting and drawing abstracts it is so freeing!
ReplyDeleteThere was a debate, of sorts, going on in the Etsy labs about this subject, recently. I agree with you - let the viewer see what he/she sees, especially if you're selling your work. You could blow a sale, otherwise.
ReplyDeleteSo true... I have this abstract painting that pretty much just looks like carnage and everyone thinks it is a very sad/angry piece, but I was in a great mood when I painted it. It just turned out looking macabre.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping in to wish you the best of the holiday season - cheers!
