Aboriginal Art Showcase

~Aboriginal Art Showcase~

     After researching dozens of Indigenous and Inuit artists, I had to make a decision on which one I liked the most. 

As I scrutinized the many works of art I had spent hours pinning, I narrowed my decision down to three of them, and finally chose this...

 

      This piece is called The Wisdom of the Universe, and was created by an Indigenous artist named  Christi Belcourt in 2014. The picture above is actually a cropped version of the full painting, I found out just today.

     When you see this painting, you firstly notice the dove, and your eyes wander further to notice the numerous plants and trees, almost beyond counting. (Almost)
The artist uses many curved lines and actually uses a painting technique that makes it look like the piece was crafted out of beads. 

I think the artist was trying to remind everyone how large and infinite the universe is, and how something so seemingly small like a dove can be represented as something as infinite as wisdom.

     Out of the many I had found, this one was...I wouldn't say the most generic, but the most modern, and to me one of the most beautiful pieces. 

     I had found some really cute ones too, such as a polar bear sculpture and many pictures of animal interpretations. This one does technically fall under that category, but this one is one of the most original interpretations I found.
     I kind of like how the artist made her painting so crowded that it portrays the message of an 'infinite universe'.

So that is my art critique. Hope you enjoyed reading (^_<)
