Limited View of Art
Uniqueness of Perception Creates Wonderful Worlds
Gallery Page of Mountain Headress - Digital Painting
On this particular day, the clouds and mountain looked like one organism. With the clouds as a head covering, I found it impossible to tell where one began and where the other ended.
Needless to say, this was only a small section of my view. But it was the section of the view which I was drawn to. An artist limits his vision to the story he chooses to tell. Actually we all probably do this.
The world is vast, perception is huge - but there is something unique about the position of any observer. What separates the telling is also the conceptual bias. This is what I saw, but
- it is more importantly how I saw it.
- and finally it is how I chose to tell it.
Whether a piece speaks to you like it needs to be on your wall or just simply is - there is a story. It is about unique perception, understanding, and physical limits and range of artist and medium.
The thing about appreciating art, is that it is still wonderful whether one likes it or not.
