The AGO - Works that Inspire

So a few weeks back we took a trip to the AGO, and we got to see a lot of different types of art. We were told to write about two pieces that had an impact on us, one from the pieces we were shown by Mr. Koczij and the other by the ones shown to us by Ms. Johnson.

Television Works - Iain Baxter

This was from the upper level that Mr. Koczij had shown us, it was part of a collection of TVs that had a scenery painted on the screen while static played on the screen giving this kind of moving effect to the painting. I choose this piece because it was something that had stuck in my mind for most of the day, mainly because of the whole idea of it, I didn't find the actual paintings to be interesting or significant but the idea presented by mixing the painting with the static on the TV had made this picture significant.

Chevreuse II - Jean Paul Riopelle

 From the lower levels I found this painting that looked it had been done with a palette knife. I choose this piece because I liked the coloring of the artwork, how it was kind of sectioned and melded into each other, also I liked the patterning to the piece, the sunrays that were made by using the palette knife.
