-The use of the palate keeping to neutral tones, and greys. I feel that it really complements the figure and posture.
- I really like that the background is more grey, allowing the body to pop forward with color and focus.
Improvement Suggestions:
- I think that the image looks a little fuzzy, I think with a few spots with more clarity would add greatly to the image.
- I do wish Lim included more of the face and hands so the audience could look at how the artist handled harder subjects.
Lacey
Lewis – “Visceral”- 24" x 18" - Oil
Done Well:
-The
tonal values of the shadows really accentuates the muscles and ranges of her
body, along with the background pulling in the blues, I feel it works nicely.
- The
figure itself is positioned really nicely allowing for interesting framing and
showing different aspects of the body.
Improvement
Suggestions:
- I wish
that there were a little more red tones in the skin to contrast more with the
shadows and background.
- I feel
that the hair could have a little more detail just to show that it’s wispy instead
of looking like a solid object.

Lewis - Oil
Done
Well:
- The proportions
of the face are really interesting with an artist who elongates features of
many of their subjects.
- The
color palate given is really nice with the ranges of reds and browns. I think
it adds to the artists direction of making this look a little antiqued.
Improvement
Suggestions:
- I feel
that the background should be more developed, instead of now where it looks
like a figure pasted on to a backdrop.
-The
leaves would look more interesting if they were developed more or blurred a
little to give the figure more depth in space.
Albuquerque,
New Mexico Painting
-This
piece is located on the side of LA Underground. The artist is Gamma, who is a well-known
mural artist out of Colorado. I’ve
always been interested in this piece, as I am in love with pseudo-pin-up girls.
This painting is really amazing in detail, especially that it’s done in
spray-paint. The piece really has an interesting narrative that makes the
viewer think that the figure is up to no good, but in a really almost girlish
way. I think that this piece really does a wonderful job of representing Albuquerque,
New Mexico, showing that we have many great murals, and the native women to the
area. There’s just something about this piece that always has me driving slowly
past it, I think it’s the use of detail and shading that really catches me.
