The exhibit is called "Impressions Multiplied" and includes art work from Burt Gulley and Ina Kaur. The art of these two artists were extremely different and provoked very different thoughts and emotions for myself.
Ina's artwork was very detailed and included a variety of different shades and shapes. A lot of circles were used and it was very textured. In Ina's artist statement she discussed how the purpose of her art was to show "influences from the past, present, east and the west." Her art could be classified as the "in between space" or the "grey area." This is exactly how I felt while looking at her art. The overall image is unknown to the onlooker. It asks the onlooker to interpret each piece as they wish and it also allowed me to see a combination of art that was influenced from various aspects and cultures.
Burt's artwork was very uniform, linear, and included a lot of shapes and various shades of Black, White and Blue (which was the title of his part of the exhibit). I enjoyed Burt's artwork because it was very organized and specific. The onlooker could tell he spent an immense of time contemplating each line and angle but when looked at quickly it was just lines and rectangles. It made me realize that even the simple things, like shapes, take time to create.
