| In the beginning of the year we visited the Visual Arts Center where we viewed the artwork of Bob Trotman, the son of a banker who resented the business life style and chose instead to live a a rural, simply life as an artist. This exhibited further helped toe express Bob's dislike for the corporate world. The sculptures showed the power and privilege which shapes the world around us and brought to light some things we failed to notice within our world. The sculptures incorporation of sound served to enhance the artwork and helped to clearly portray the artist's message. After the exhibit I was left pondering what some of the simple gestures of the sculptures could mean? The simple tamping of the hand and the stares of the two men. Did the sounds within the room come together to create the sounds of a cooperate building? How did the exhibits content change the atmosphere? Does this show pity, disdain, or sadness towards people trapped in the corporate world in some way. This visit also helped me to incorporate some of his style into my drawings. I really liked the usage of the dull colors in the sculptures, but the powerful message that it was able to show through the arrangement and expressions of the artwork. |
