The large artwork is interesting. There seems to be a lot of motion in the painting because of the splatter technique. The different textures of the works are also fascinating. The strange texture of a white section that looks like matted hair draws me in closer to the piece. The painting that looks like an eye has a shiny affect to it in the middle that makes it actually look moist(though I am not sure it is meant to be an eye). I can see that there are different materials that have been combined with paint that have been used in order to create the strange and unsettling textures. Both are unsettling in subject(though they are somewhat abstract I still am able to feel uneasy looking at them) but some of the muted colors used tells me otherwise. The contrast between the two makes the work interesting and makes me unsure of whether I should be frightened or calm. Perhaps that is the desired affect? My favorite thing about the pieces is that it makes you look closer and causes you to think about what it is that you are actually looking at. Before this assignment I had already been drawn to these painting because they were unlike anything I've seen with the varying textures.
