Here we are again. Starting over. But really, when you start over, you have the knowledge of what happened in the past, so the choices you make this time really aren't starting from scratch again, but they are most definitely informed.
For 2011, I am embracing what I have learned the past year, about myself, my work and most importantly about others. From this information I ready to begin again.
And what better way to begin again, and see something new, but to take another look at Mister Salvador Dali.
I recently went to the Museum of Art in San Diego, and they have a few of this paintings, less famous of course, but i think that is what attracted me to his work yet again. A fresh look at something new. His Ideas pertaining to illusion,myth and the balancing act between reality and fiction are all things that he trying to illustrate. I believe a lot of these ideas speak to what I am thinking about in my work currently.
When I think about Dali not only do I think of illusion, but I also think about space/ environment. For me, the space/ environment that he proposes is perhaps what allows the viewer to see something familar. Dali then tests the viewers perception of what is real and what isn't, allowing the view to WANT to make sense of what is nonsensical. Dali transports, evokes and summons the imagination with something that the viewer has never experienced.
The hint of reality is what throws many into his frenzy.
