reflections

art that inspires.

sorry i couldn't come up with a more interesting title but this particular post talks about an assignment i was faced with. amongst the thousands of artists across the centuries, i was to choose five artists that that most piqued my interests and i ended up with a satisfactory bunch...

4. Anish Kapoor

 

this is the 'sky mirror' by Anish Kapoor. the reason i have chosen this installation is that it amazes me how he has brought the sky and fit it into a little circle on the earth. 

3. Janet Echelman 

the size of her work really captures the serenity and flow of her giant woven sculptures. they reminded me of the auroras in the poles.

2. Berndnaut Smilde

i find myself with very little to say when it comes to these 'clouds' that Smilde has produced by blending art and science so magnificently, displaying an enormous feat of human ingenuity.

1. Florentjin Hofman 

this giant rubber duck put up by Florentjin Hofman, i have found, is the most effective of the art installations that i have explored. it perfectly brings out the simplest of emotions within people and makes the world one happy place, without intimidating its viewers with the complexity and mumbo jumbo of Art.
