Art event # 2

I attended an artist talk by Lance Winn. To me he seems like a colorist and he uses strong and kind of strange ideas in his work. He showed a slide of an explosion. when thinking of a large explosion people think of destruction and sadness. Instead of making the explosion look like a horrible event Winn made it appear playful and beautiful. To create the piece of art he used an array of different colors and shades of those colors nut also the colors used were vibrant, and happy. I really like the deer ornament that Winn created. It is of a dead deer's ghost leaving its body. It was interesting that he gave the dead deer the normal coloring of a dear and left the ghost deer white. I also liked how the work had some movement upward of the ghost deer leaving the dead deers body. It is an interesting thought that after we die that we leave the body we are used to and go somewhere else or into the body of someone or something else. It was also a good idea because deers are killed all the time by hunters or vehicles and I don't think that people see them as important, but maybe they are more important than people think. I would definitely put the ornament on my front lawn if I had the option because of the meaning behind it and because it is very different from other lawn ornaments and what they do.
