The Laing Gallery visit



The Laing Gallery


Firstly within the Laing gallery, I found the original painting "Isabella and the pot of basil" created by William Holman Hunt, and I just couldnt believe how super realistic it was, especially a painting. texturing and colouring can give a character such depth, i should really practice more on it. Another super realistic piece within the gallery, was George Clausen's "The stone Pickers"




I found another piece, a more modern work by artist 'Mike Challenger' entitled: "Green Jay" shown to the left here. I really like the use of a very liimited palette to create a sense of the picture being 3 dimentional. It also reminds me stongly, of the 3-coloured glitch-like animations produced by David O'reilly.


Another work I found interesting, was the 3D optical illusions created by artist: Bridget Riley. Here, she created a set of pictures she named: "Fragments, series of seven" and I also liked the illusion of 3D with as little colour as possible. inface with only lines to create this purpose, I believe it must be a very difficult vision to create.
