Sophie Ryder, Yorkshire Sculpture Park

egiptian munumental sculptures transcendented into contemporary. everything is there: the pose, the scale, the myth-creatures...

A look at Goldsworthy and de Karina

Similarities among the artist: site-specific sculpture and land art. both working in local material.

emphesizing the importance of root/ base/ earth. or we can look at the whole image just as artsist improvement to the visual composition of otherwise uninteresting spot.

Notes on visual perception

Interesting images to ponder and discuss
---------------------------------------------------------------

Example 1.
p o o l. X

- One of excellent examples: from pasivity to action; deliberate change of orientation of the initial photo alters the perception. Sometimes it takes very little, just a little WITT and you are there! A good lesson.

------------------------------------------

Example 2.
Bâle Art Basel "Conversation 3"


Bâle Art Basel "Conversation 3", originally uploaded by Tomawal.

just a remark on this: capturing the situation with the added value makes the art of its own - common use in many media.

------------------------------------------------

Example 3.
Mulhouse-Rue Jacques Preiss "Le bleu de ......bleu..."

Another valuable lesson: interaction of natural and man-made, most interesting in extreme sizes.

Example 5. Classical meets contemporary sculpture

excellent example of contemporary witt; baloons adding to the thought, aren't they?
