Gallery Response

 

                                         “At Home with Family”

 My visit to the gallery was wonderful and got my attention one of my favorite art that I got into it was “At Home with Family”, this art is not just an art was wonderful color, it's an amazing picture of a happy family. The picture made by Julie Green portrays a family dining together at the dinner table enjoying a meal from a Japanese-style bird's eye view. The artwork was created on Tyvek with acrylic paint, fabric, thread, glow in the dark paint, and 24K gold. However, the story was about a black male who was wrongfully prisoned for no reason which makes anyone feel sorry for him and his family, there is no one who deserves to be imprisoned and held accountable for things he did not happen. The picture of this family reminds me of my own family gathered together, we were a happy family, but one day, and one night, I lost my father, and the happy family became a sad one filled with pain and brokenness. There is no way to compensate for the loss of a father or the tenderness of a father.

My second artwork that I got into it was “Thanks got I'm home” by Marcel Brown the artwork is acrylic on Tyvek. This artwork is telling a story about someone who was wrongfully accused of murder and spent 10 years in prison. And then he was dismissed and he was now released, but no words can describe how he was feeling injustice for doing nothing and how he forget the view of the world and missing so many things like smelling the fresh air, going on vacation, eating with his family, and marry to get children. However, I believe that he thinks about all of this and how he wasted 10 years unjustly. This artwork reminds me of myself When I was in high school, I didn't like the food they made, such as an ugly dish with black beans and potatoes, and a cold pizza that made me feel angry and made me run home fast to eat my mother's food to feel happy again, so I think family, or especially mother, is the most important part of our lives. Furthermore, I can relate the prison to the Covid-19 when all of us were at home, but felt like we were in prison because we couldn't even go out or have fun.
