Critiqued Assignment #3: Not Flat / "Untitled"

Abstract

This is a digital photograph of Dylan Boutwell's mixed media artwork. It was submitted as the third critiqued assignment, "Not Flat," on April 4, 2017, in Erin Harmon's Intermediate/Advanced Painting class. The student's artist statement for this work reads: "White wire populates the white corner of the room, protruding out from the wall near the floor. Subtly painted shadows imitate cast wire shadows throughout the composition. Plaster bricks placed around the piece mimic the shape of the outlined space. Green and blue creep out from a couple of blocks, adding patches of color. Shifts in time of day greatly affects the lighting of the piece, either outshining the shadows or enhancing them."
