Week 2

This week I chose artwork from Renata Spiazzi called, “Blush”. This work of art is beautiful. I love the colors and the presentation. It almost remind me of a vase or sculpture with flowers floating inside. Renata Spiazzi was born in Italy and involved in art her entire life. After moving to United States she became an art of teacher, teaching oil base painting. She later retired and was introduced to computer art.

Renata work consist of filters and Ultra Fractal program transferred to Photoshop. She use composites making non objective images given by fractal fragments and create masterpieces. She compares her fractal fragments to music. She also experiment with Kay Power Tools and transform the art to appear three dimensional.

Looking at this picture I can’t explain why I was so impressed by it, but when thinking about it I realized it was the simplicity of the straight lines and the way he uses the curves.  Andrew Cole stated “In my search for a way to be expressive, to be original and to create works of intellectual substance, I found that wonderful art can be created and differentiated by specific chess strategies, structures, players, and even errors that occur during a game.” (Cole, 2017)  

He said it took him many years developing this concept I am not sure witch software he uses but sure does a great job.

MOCA Week 2

The artist I chose this week in MOCA is James D. Kramer and for this artwork they mainly used Adobe Photoshop but also Adobe Illustrator was used for some portions of the artwork. Kramer used 3D rendering applications such as DAZ 3d, Hexagon, and Carrera. Kramer advised this artwork is more of his perception of everything, rather attractiveness; he advises that he interprets "beauty" in everything and in viewing the world he uses that same method. What I like about this particular image is that it’s simple, but the colors are so radiant and looks similar to the colors that Andy Warhol used in his artwork.
