When going to the galleries in Chelsea, everything sort of caught my eye in some ways. I would like to share two pieces of art. One which would be worth investment and one that is not.

Sadly, i don't know he name of this work but i believe this will be a good investment because of what it makes you think, or at least what made me think. This piece made me think of a relaxing day for some reason and that's what i like about this piece itself. You can jump in here, and just walk around.. maybe lay on this art. That's also what i like about it, you can interact with the art work. I would love to have this in my own house just to relax in. Who needs beds?

This is another piece that i don't know it's name to. But to me, this wont be a good thing to invest on.  It's just a simple photograph of a woman. If you read my posts more often, you would know that simple stuff like this makes me not like the art. This would only go for the people who love photographs of people and such. But just simple as it can be, it could never be invested by a person with the same art interest as me. 

Most of the art works in Chelsea were a great investment. What catches my eyes are the ones that can make a person go "What is this? SOME ONE EXPLAIN." But when it comes to portraits it makes me not want to look at it any longer. Some people may have the opposite reaction to that but everyone's different. To me, a good investment is something that you can stare and love forever. Something that you could never regret. Personally, i would love to make an investment on the portrait of "The girl with the pearl earring" By Vermeer. For some reason it has ALWAYS caught my eye.

Sculpture center reaction

The artist Bill Bollinger created a type of art that interacts with space and it's surroundings. This will include stuff that you see in your everyday life. Such as, pipes, ropes, fences and etc. It's based of how these things are position or where they are positioned.

His piece, "Cyclone fence" looks very simple. It's affected with it's space and architecture by the way the artist made it look, it looks like your normal fence but what makes it different is the loop that happens in the middle. I don't clearly understand why this is something to consider an art piece but then again, i don't know it's history behind it. This work does not change my view on space. I just see it as a simple "art" piece made out of metal.

"Untitled" is a piece that has 2 wheelbarrows full of dirty water. As strange as it can be, this is called art. Once again, i don't understand it's space. Maybe the way the 2 wheelbarrows are positioned which is very close. Both the same size and shape and it looks like they can be mirrored. Their space is similar. But if one of them were to be moved, then i believe the space would be changed from it's original space.

If you are me, and you look at these art pieces you would think the same as me, "How can something so simple be considered art? and how does this work with space?" I asked myself this very often as i walked around this sculpture center. I have yet to learn from this. But in a way, i get what the space is. How the pieces are positioned gives it away clearly.

Tabaimo is a Japanese animator/artist. Her art is full animation done by her own illustrations. Everything is made from scratch and out from her own mind. She shows truth beneath her work which will include some disturbing things that can represent Japanese society. Her animations take up a whole room which in each wall of the room is like a comic book panel.

My favorite piece by Tabaimo is her very first work which is "Japanese kitchen" (image above). This work told most of the stories that went on in the Japanese society. As beautiful as this work looks, with the different colors, the story behind it is very dark. It explains the unemployment that people go through. You see a woman in her kitchen cooking, and she goes in her refrigerator and finds a tiny man on his desk working. She then takes this man and lays him on the cutting board and proceeds to cut his head. This is a "visual pun" to the Japanese, "kubi nu naru" which means "to become a neck" and that would lead to the meaning someone losing their job.  That kind of style will always catch my eye. The art style of making something dark look very innocent and beautiful.

None of her work really disappointed me. Everything she does is quite eye catching and meaningful. She can take the smallest problems and make them into big things for her art works. What makes this big art is the way she uses animation for it. As you can see, most of the art  you see are still. What makes her super different is the way makes her art come to life. And these animations aren't really nonsense, they have deep meanings and the way she tells them is very intriguing.

She communicates with the viewers by giving them entertainment in the way she uses her art. Once again, with animation and beautiful colors. She is trying to tell the viewers that the world isn't really a beautiful place as people think. The world also has extreme flaws and i believe she hopes that people realize things like major problems going on in society but not only in Japan.

Her work is really eye catching. To the amazing colors to the dark meaning behind them using some disturbing images. Her work is something unique and it doesn't really remind me of anything.  It's something i would like to do when it comes to my drawings. Dark and beautiful with a little bit of strangeness.
