Art

 Outer Journey  

While walking around Royal Street we happened to go into a gallery which was called Sutton Galleries who was displaying the work of Isabelle Dupuy. This particular artist was born and raised in Southern France, in her work she likes to capture and is inspired by locations near the French countryside where she grew up and lived. All of her paintings were so colorful, bright and cheerful, it was so refreshing to look at. Her work had so much texture created into it, it looked as though it was coming out off of the page. There were so many beautiful colors displayed on her art you could really see the and understand the direction she was trying to go, I’ve never seen so many different layers of pain on top of each other it was really cool to see up close and personal, I bet it takes forever for those paintings to dry. When looking at the art you could see that the artist was trying to tell a story and trying to make you see what she has seen in her life in Southern France. This artist also used a lot of different tones some warm and some cold, it was nice to see the diversity in her art. This exhibit of her art was unique because it was all very simple pictures she has painted but when you really look at it you see how complex it actually is, I liked this exhibit because even the simplest of pictures told a fascinating story.

Inner Journey

I enjoyed these paintings because they were very colorful and had so much texture on them, I am used to seeing art that is mostly just two dimensional, not art that is coming off of the page. I also liked this exhibit because you could see in her art that she is trying to tell a story, she is trying to share her experiences of growing up and living in Southern France. She wants you to see how beautiful her experiences were and all of the colors she got to see growing up. The beautiful color, tones, and texture drew me to this art. This specific art speaks to me by making me realize how beautiful and peaceful nature is and that I need to do a better job of appreciating it when seeing it. I enjoy this story so much because it emphasizes how beautiful and special nature is and it makes you want to appreciate it more, I also enjoy it because I think it is so special that this artist wants to share her experiences with us and share a very important part of her life with us. I like this art so much because it just makes me feel free and calm, all of these pictures are so soothing, and you almost get lost by just admiring them and imagining that you are there where the picture takes place. I personally am a big fan of art that is of nature I find it very comforting and almost like an escape, I feel like I can escape all my troubles and worries when looking at these pictures and just travel to wherever this picture is representing, it’s therapeutic.
