Arts from Art Colony

This was the first time I have been to Art Colony in the Pomona Art Walk. It was very surprising me that there were a lot of interesting art works created by local artistic that displayed in the Art Colony.



This one was also displayed in DA gallery. It named "shoots and ladders" by Athena H. Hahn. Actually it has three similar pieces were displayed, but I only took a picture for the bottom one. I like this one because it reminded me Chess in my childhood. Its complementary background color was very dazzling by comparing the other two. Typefaces were distributed tidy and cover most of the small picture, so it made people want to spend more time to look closely to find out the development in this art work.



The other art work attracted my eyes in the Art of Colony was the “Sweets for the Sweet” created by Leslie A. Brown. This art work has three panels and used different materials to combine with painting. This art work gave me some sort of street art feeling, because its composition. It was hard to tell the theme of this art work, because there were different reflections of approaching in different expects. There were human figures, landscape, and plants. The creative idea of this art work can be the artistic knew how to use some of recycle materials into painting. It made smoothly transition of the materials as part of the painting.




This art work was named "Reflection". In this piece of art, artist showed a landscape by viewing sunrise or sunset from the mountain. The artist used yellow to embellish some sort of soft light in the entire image. The artist also used darker natural color as the main object which was the mountain stood closer and clearly to viewer. It brought high contrast with the other mountains, and created a greater depth and filed. The artist also used very light green in the middle of it. It looked like a lake and surrounds by dense forest. It made that the other mountains stood more far away from the main mountain. By viewing this piece of artwork, it gave me some sort of natural sense which meant a harmony reflection of human living environment that we pursuit.
