exhbiton lakeside sculpture

Arrived at the gallery i decided to start my tour from the back and make my way to front looking at the work however as I stood in from the entrance the room the art work appeared to have a flow that worked it didn't feel to clutted shapes and textures blended well . One of the 1st pieces I looked at was these objects for me instantly thoughts heads and fencing mask  . I was draw to it for its use of colour and shape and element of textile The other piece that I like was this maybe the fluid movement and makes me think of the human figure I can see a person nealing the artist

If I am entirely honest nothing truely grabbed me as a view or artist . I  am attracted to more colour and shape . With an all female line up am not sure if it makes more intresting or if I appreciate it more because its women . I am not hundred percent within knowledge of Barbara Hepworths work but as a lengdary female sculpture I found the painting near the entry intresting . The story I have in my head was like a show of respect. I find the space quit tight although the objects complemented each other to look at . 

Ambaguity

Ambiguity is the uncertainty, the unknowing, the non-specific when you cannot quite grab the place or label for interpretation. This gives some kind of open poetic, open chaotic place to be which can be liberating or imprisoning . An element of ambiguity in art is a mystery. A person can look at a visual piece of art or hear a beautiful sound or piece of music or sculpture and there is a thirst to draw similarity give it a label identity or meaning. 

The brain searches for familiarity, to place ourselves with it because things may look or sound different and some minds like to seek familiarity and clarity and to give something a name. We seek clarity to place it in a genre, a place, a home . This could be called the unrested mind. For you will be taking in that moment and seeing it, tasting that what is before you. Although some work may command your view it strikes you for its ambiguity something you are unable to place. This could be intentional as when art is ambiguous it stands out .

 

When thinking about an artist I decide to google and find something I was drawn to.

Through doing this search I found the artist Jade` Fadojutimi. I was drawn to her work and I looked further listening to conversations about her process, from her studio feeling like a bedroom to her love of anime and life escape and soundtracks influencing her mood and that it can be like a dance. She does not see titles as important although once she has a title it levels up the completion and she says a title can bring something to the work. I find her work strikingly playful, the vibrant colours and the honesty with various moods trapped but free, fluid and soft. To the eye, some may look at her work and simply see it as abstract 

She does not share the thoughts and influences behind the artwork so the interpretation is with the viewer.

Jade does not start with a titled work but works to a process often to music and also takes inspiration from colour .

Adam Baker is an abstract figurative painter looking at his work I find it to be abstract in its approach of painting what appears to be people. Focusing on the faces that neither look happy nor sad there is a clown element to them that is also quite unsettlling and unknowing although you look at the physical expression and there appears to be some kind of normal. the faces leave you unknowing
