Escape = an act of breaking free from confinement or control.
We live in a world where, in certain environments, being "out of the box" is not always a good thing. You have to fit in. So, I've tried to show this by breaking it all down to squares - in rows - with military precision, except for the one escaping and blooming. Because these people are sometimes regarded like a weed, like a dandelion. They are strong, beautiful, full of colour, they have freed themselves from the rules of the garden and pop up wherever they want!
Greta, the sombre colours seem like a prison, and the red rectangle with its fizz of knots just leaps out of its confines. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the way that you presented this idea, simple but very effective.
ReplyDeleteI love the explosion of colour on that restrained background.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great abstraction of your idea. It also reminds me of the movie, "Pleasantville" in which everything runs in black and white until someone introduces new ideas and then people start showing up in color.
ReplyDeleteI love your concept Greta, the explosion of one 'escaping' is very effective. A lovely, dramatic piece.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour, line, structure...
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful piece. Makes the viewer ponder, which is always a good thing!
The contrast between the regimented squares and the rogue is fabulous. I imagine someone breaking out of confinement, or from tormented thoughts - just having to be free!
ReplyDeleteA very eye catching and modern looking piece. Great contrast.
