Desolation

April 15, 2016 ASAA

DSC_2091
(Honorable Mention – Painting)

Title of Art Piece: Desolation
Category: Painting – 2016
Student/Artist’s Name: Amanda Gassan
School: Thunder Mountain High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: I find that there is a beauty in exhaustion. This piece is inspired by a picture taken of Cole Sprouse in a green house looking like he hadn’t slept in days. The purple watercolor under his eyes stood out against the warm tones paints. The blur of colors below his collar represent the flowers in a delusional viewpoint cause by lack of sleep. This effect was created by letting the colors bleed together, pooling the water on the paper and blowing the paint in the direction I wanted it to stray.
Artwork Dimensions: 8 inches high X 5.5 inches wide
