RE: 🎨 Artwork: Linocut, Etching, Digital // Morphing strange stuff // Gandhi & War 🎨
t can mean the difference between an action-packed piece of art and a solemn, contemplative one. But how do you make a composition convey the mood you want, and what is it that makes a composition successful?, I like...
don't know if your comment is finished, but as I view it, every piece of art is in it's core solemn and contemplative because despite the medium and the process there is one point where everything stops and where the artist feels that the work depicts the atmosphere / mood that is needed in order to transfer the message. If someone wants to show the physical action in his painting (let's say) - what's the moment that makes him stop demonstrating it? The physical limitation, the limitation of the medium or the canvas, the saturation of the composition? just that fact can say a lot more than we think. And in the end only those works that can tell a story of the process through just one moment in an image are the ones that are powerful, and"successful". Just my thoughts on the subject.
