ambiguity

The saying things arnt always as they seem always comes to mind when i see ambiguous art. I love to look into the datail of a picture to see the houses and the bark on the trees, but to look at it as a whole its some thing compleatly different. these are actual psychology theorys of how the mind percieves things as a whole or in parts.... which deffinitly can be expieranced while gazing upon a picture such as the one below.
this is a painting by Oleg Shuplyak a Ukrainian artist he paints "famous figures from art and fiction with landscapes and images from nature" states the huffington post.
His paintings have included such people as John Lennon, Pablo Picasso, Sigmund Freud, Charles Darwin, Paul Gauguin, Zeus and Uncle Sam.
 this is one of my favorites by him it has a very homey and safe feel but the face is harse and unforgiving.... definitly a nice clash

before i die....

Before I die i want to see, expierance and change the world, create, imagine...
This is an interactive community art project done by Candy Chang"It creates a public space for contemplation and reminds us why we want to be alive in the world today"
she states on her website candychang.com
i think this is a amazing idea it takes an eye sore and turns it into something inspiring and beautiful. community is something lost in todays society, but this can help remmind people that humanity is important.
this has spread from just one house to multiple spots around the world.... i gues showing that candys thesis is effective when presented to the public.she has contemplated how can we better design our public spaces to share information, self-organize, and become effective agents in our communities. the fiest house was filled by the first day, its nice to know people in communitys want to participate.
i would love to see one of these in buffalo our town could deffinitly use a little inspiration :)
on her web site with help from the civic center you can order your own before i die kit which is super cool and makes this totaly accessable for anyone.

Art can be anything as long as the viewer perceives it that way...

Some times art can trick you i remember the first time i went to the Smithsonian American Art Museum and saw a Davinci in person, it shocked me by its realism.


I love attention to detail and realism and the unexpected, Edgar Muller is a artist that uses perspective to give dimension and depth. He carefully plans out each step on huge scaled areas, to the left you can see one of the first steps in creating a piece.

 He paints over large areas of urban public settings and transforms them to give a completely new appearance, thus challenging the perceptions of passers-by and observers.
 
at the end he has transformed the street into something completely new. i think that this brings life and energy to otherwise meek places.
