Statement
The exhibition of Anthropomorphic Equilibrium is
the place for works of art that invokes the general theme of human
environment made by selected few artists of the host's choice. In the
gallery, the mediums of art are diverse but centralize under the
involvement of natural environments and people (including creatures
with human characteristics). In the works, both realistic and
low-fantasy subject matters are involved. The works are each and
every different in form and technique process, but the underlying
theme is approximately the same. The anthropological focus of human
kind is ever present here, where areas made by the environments and
the people involved play a vital role. It's important to realize the
key to survival, appreciation, and immersion upon complex reasons
that interactive life forms make, and that's mainly what the
exhibition's motive is for.
Sally Mann is a
photographer that manages with arduous but authentic techniques about
mostly colorless portraits of people and the outdoor setting. Her use
of lighting and coloring choices represent a historical and haunting
aura that justifies the notion of life and death. Mark Dion loosely
combines science and art as one in an intelligent formation focusing
on the dominant ideologies about the very nature of humanity,
history, knowledge, and the natural world. His works are physical
installments and made objects that represent those sub-themes, which
are artifact-like. Yoshitaka Amano is a Japanese painter on both
original (general) and for video game artworks. Using complex but
elegant techniques with watercolor, his visual works are of wisp and
wonder. Most of his works rely on dream-like coloring, peculiar
fantasy environments, and creative scenarios among character designs
and still-picture interactions.
With all the artist's
works in place, the significant factor of human nature and its
environment to be linked by interaction and acts of nature are
ever-present in both entertainment and the real world itself. More
importantly, it helps to get a clear understanding even in an
artistic, creative, and enjoyable sense in order to appreciate and
accept the very true messages of reality even in films, shows, games,
and books. Enjoy your observation to the works, as everything is
bounded, and everyone is connected.
