In our free time, Mei and I enjoy going to art galleries around Orange County, especially in Laguna Beach, California. An art gallery that we particularly enjoy is called 'Kush Fine Art Laguna Beach', which showcases the unique style of artist Vladimir Kush. This Russian artist has a surrealist approach to his paintings and sculptures. We appreciate his works because of the details he incorporates into each of his pieces. We took a deeper look into his painting, Tree of Life, which at first glance looks like a regular tree, but as you look closer and analyze the painting you discover the hidden messages and details. For example, hidden in the trunk of the tree is a spider web shaped like the Eiffel Tower. If you take a better look at the clouds in the sky, you see a white, fluffy ram. Behind the tree we noticed a beautiful cathedral made up of tall trees. We also discovered the trunk of the tree flows like water as there is a person rowing a boat up the trunk of the tree and a person surfing. The last detail we will analyze is the pineapple made up of small faces. These are just the few details that we will discuss, but know that there are a bounty of hidden treasures scattered among Kush's painting, Tree of Life.

Oh wow I did not notice some of the details you pointed out! Absolutely amazing piece of art for the incorporation of different aspects of nature into a harmonious painting.
ReplyDeleteThe work by Vladimir Kush is truly mesmerizing. The amount of detail included in this specific piece is truly significant. I admire how you found so many different parts that the artist included in Tree of Life. Each different part of culture included in the scene represents some different part of life and the world as we know it. Thank you for showing me this beautiful work!

DeleteI've never heard about Vladimir Kush before, but his art seems to be very impressive and full of minute details, one would fail to notice on the first, second, or even third viewing. Furthermore I appreciate how a picture of one of his pieces were included, letting the reader see how detailed his work it. It would be nice if the blog was formatted so the reader could always see the image instead of having to scroll up and down.
ReplyDeleteI really liked reading our critique of the Tree of Life because of all the details you guys said regarding the piece of art. The art piece was amazing to look at and liked how you dove into more details about the painting.
ReplyDeleteNice choice. I was not aware of these unique pieces of art that are so close to home. Great job analyzing the painting and the beauties within it. Thank you for enlightening me.

DeleteThe picture is really interesting, it is very vivid and detailed, I discover something new each time I look at it. Furthermore, the scene depicted by the painting is also beautiful, I like the lighting and color of the sky, is resembles dawn on the right while dusk on the left, it is very beautiful and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is very creative and deep in meaning. I did not notice all of the little meaningful details that are mentioned in the critical description when I first saw the painting. I looked at the painting and just saw a tree with nice contrasting colors, but the hidden meanings within the piece are staggering.
ReplyDeleteWow. This is a really impressive painting, and I definitely would not have noticed all the details you pointed out in your critique. I find surrealism quite enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteEmily and I also analyzed a work of surrealism, and the details and meaning behind this that you analyzed are spot on! I really enjoyed seeing these dream-like pictures and looking at the different unique elements behind it.
