Yesterday I went and visited the David Lee Art Gallery that is on temporary display in the art gallery at our school. I have never been to an art gallery before this, not knowing what to expect at all. I walk in and see things that catch my eye instantly. The photo above is it, I wanted this for my room the minute I saw this. As I started on the left side of the gallery and walked to the right side I saw the most beautiful things. These paintings were done in little kid paint essentially, I was told by some one who I was with. They pointed out to me the type of paint by how it runs. The art work had a couple ideas that were common. Almost all of the painting were of African Americans if there was a person in the art and if not a reoccurring theme of bubbles on the bottom of every painting and also had these intriguing 3-D looking walls he drew. Most of his art was done cigar boxes and other types of common boxes. This was very fascinating having most artist use a canvas I thought. This photo that I choose above to show, reminded me of the man trying to push everything away. In this piece of art it is layer on layer of parking tickets and no parking signs. The man in the photo I feel is fed up with the whole transit system and I personally found it to be the best piece.
glad you went to the show!
