Ever looked at a building and thought, “Wow, that looks like it just stepped out of a psychedelic dream?” Well, welcome to my world! This piece is a vibrant explosion of color and form, where modern architecture meets a kaleidoscope of hues that could make even a rainbow blush.
This is from my latest series of surreal images. The new series is bright, colorful, and vibrant, a different path for me as an artist but one I am enjoying at the moment. Presented in a square format, it evokes the feeling of peering through a window into a world of layered narratives.
I’m happy to share the news too that six of my recent surreal images have been included in an exhibition at the Stanisonne Gallery in Berlin, Germany. As part of their recent “Abstract & Surrealistic Worlds” exhibit, my work is included along with an artist page. You can check that out here.
As far as this piece is concerned, this is a newer addition to the series. I’ve been adding to the series and sharing it as I create new pieces. It’s been a fun journey into the world of the surreal and an experiment with some different techniques for me so I’m enjoying it.
Let’s talk about the towering structure at the center of this colorful chaos. Not just Sagrada Familia, no, it’s like the architectural equivalent of a rock star. It’s bold, unapologetic, and probably has a fan club. You can almost hear it saying, “Look at me! I’m fabulous!” And honestly, who wouldn’t want to strut their stuff in a world that often feels like a monochrome Monday?
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Is this a building or a lava lamp on steroids?” And that’s the beauty of this piece. This artwork captures the essence of modern architecture while throwing in a splash of whimsy that makes you question everything you thought you knew about design. It’s like if Gaudí had a wild night out with a box of crayons and a can of spray paint.
The colors here are not just random splashes; they’re a symphony of vibrancy that dances across the composition. Each hue tells a story, and together they create a narrative that’s as complex as trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions. You might find yourself lost in the layers, wondering if you’re looking at a building or a portal to another dimension. Spoiler alert: it’s both!
And let’s not forget the little figures at the bottom, standing there like confused tourists trying to figure out if they’ve stumbled into an art exhibit or a sci-fi movie set. They add a sense of scale against the background of the architecture, reminding us that even the most magnificent structures are just a backdrop to our everyday lives.
So, what’s the takeaway here? Life is too short for dull colors and boring buildings. Embrace the chaos, the vibrancy, and the unexpected. Let this artwork be a reminder that sometimes, the most beautiful things are the ones that make you stop, stare, and maybe even chuckle a little. Buildings don’t have to be boring and architecture can be fun too.
In a world that often feels gray, let’s paint it with the wildest colors we can find. After all, who wouldn’t want to live in a place where every corner is a celebration of creativity?
Until next time…
