The artist whose work was up at the time I visited NGMA had a style that was a mix between Picasso and a general modern sense of sketching. There wasn't any particular piece that stood out to me. Sometimes I think I am just meant to design things which have a concept not just sketches art that need to be 'understood but when I think back to what we are doing in memory lab I guess it is art. And once again I wonder about the difference between art and design.
Anyway the sculptures were pretty intriguing. He had managed to take the essence of the object he was making a sculpture of and abstract it. Sometimes he was trying to capture the movement, sometimes the energy, and although one couldn't make out at first glance what it was meant to the title makes a difference in figuring out the sculpture. A sculpture of a dog caught my attention, the funny thing about the sculpture was that the dog that resembled a fire hydrant.
The other thing that caught my attention were little sketches that seemed to be made during a stage of ideating. It had enough deatil to make out what it was and only the important aspect was highlighted in its own way. Unfortunately I couldn't take photos in the museum. Those tiny sketches are something I hope to do with my work. Like little thumbnails.
