The second time I attended the Pomona Art walk, I found more interesting pieces of art, however I felt that this art walk was not as exciting as the previous time. The Da gallery did not have as many interesting pieces in my opinion, however they did have lots of delicious food! One of the works I found more interesting at the Da gallery was called "Just Before Tomorrow", although it did not have an illustrator's name on it. It consists of a portrait of a plain colored with rainbow colors. From a distance, it seems like it could be a normal portrait of a plane. However, up close, it appears to utilize the main colors of the rainbow in order (for the most part). I thought this was an interesting concept, and this was the only one from the gallery that caught my eye.
Another one I found interesting at the art walk had no name or artist, it was in one of the corner rooms. I mentioned this one in another post, but it consists of nothing but squiggly blue lines on a black canvas, which was pleasant to look at, and appeared to be very time consuming to create.
At one particular gallery (I do not recall the name) I found three paintings that seemed interesting to me. One was called "Turquoise Landscape" by Eva Andry. This one was a landscape of turquoise strands with holes and filled up the canvas. This was a mesmerizing piece that is a pleasure to stare at.
Louiza Vick's "Bruised Psyche" is definitely one to take a look at. It is a picture of the face of the Statue of Liberty with blood all over it. In my opinion, it symbolizes the fact that America has been bruised or damaged, due to current events. The cause for this may be due to bad political decisions, and/or the fact that our soldiers are dying in Iraq. Whatever the reason may be, this is an interesting painting.
The last painting I found interesting at the art walk was untitled by Jorge Higuera. It consists of the fusion of three different landscapes. It is a beach with a tree on the shore, a turtle on the shore as well, and broken stained glass from a church coming out of the sky. I'm not sure what the meaning of this painting is, but it seems very unique. I'm sure the artist intended for this painting to have a great philosophy.
