Set 5- Type of Object
Does the public prefer a natural or man made object? What would be a compromise between the two? In this set I painted a man made object (knobs) and a natural object (plant leaves). But to create the third painting I had to find a happy median between the two. What is between a natural and a man-made object? If it isn't from nature then it's something man made correct? Well there's always a catch. Man creates concepts of natural objects that don't exist the way we think of them. A great example is the atom. The atom is not a spherical ball with rings around it, this rather is man's concept or diagram of something we cannot percieve. It is a simplified version of something far more complicated that is the interworkings of nature. Therefore the third painting in this set reflects this idea. I painted a series of molecules. The set was posted on 11/19/2006- 11/24. Molecules won with a high bid of 12 however the final price of the plant painting was higher.
Remember up to this point all paintings have to be of an object in analogious colors, that takes up the canvas space and has no context.
