Although not entirely obvious at first is where the sky and the surface area meet. In Time and Space it is almost hard to detect what the foreground is. Nick Marci, a small time artist born in Novosibirsk, Russia. He works as a polygraphist, web designer, and he paints fantasy and surrealistic pictures. He studied at Pedagogic University and graduated in 1996; he received his diploma in book illustrating. He's still alive and painting, and expected to spark interest in his style of fantasy art.
The medium of Marci's painting is oils. The way the shapes are formed, Marci draws attention to the movement of the subject matter. As stated before it is not at all subtle how to depict the field. The composition of the painting consists of two upright Tikki heads up close, and one far off in the distance which seems to be falling over. All three heads in a type of unreadable setting. The hue gives off an illusion of a desert, but the texture of the surface creates an almost ocean like affect. Over all the painting is confusing yet so surreal and imaginative, it makes the viewer want to look and want to understand.

"Two Path's" Critique.

"Two Paths" by the artist, Brett X. Gamache, is painted within the hills of Italy. The medium used is oils. The subject matter consists of a woodland landscape. The movement inside the painting gives the viewer a sensory of a summer breeze through your hair and against your face. The way the oils mesh together creates a hue of shades and tones of greens.
The viewer may interpret this painting as a way of making a hard choice. The allegory of this painting, could represent a time or experience in the artist’s life where he had to make a difficult decision. The composition of the piece is very blended. Everything blends together, but the viewer can still pick out certain details, and if studied long enough the oils really come alive right in front of you. What is rendered in this painting is a problem, and the realism of the painting makes the viewer want to visit the scene and see what exactly is around the bends. This plein air painting is over all proportionate and is enjoying enough to dream and think about even when its not being looked at.

Image Critique

Gene Magritte (1898-1967), was born in Belgium. His paintings were strongly influenced by Chirico. Magritte’s paintings introduced a new wave of art which combined the misleading sort of surrealism and adding the mockery of irony. For instance The Red Model, painted by Magritte in 1935, shares a harmony between feet and shoes and acts as a barrier between reality and fantasy.

Gene’s juxtaposition of the men, in Golconde, leads to the spectator’s interpretation of the commonly used pessimistic or optimistic views of the question, “Is the glass half full or is it half empty?” This perspective is ultimately provided by the onlooker. The composition of the painting creates the mood of the art’s either dejected or euphoric apprehension. The field of the men in top hats is really more of a commonplace. The realism of the modern apartment or hotel-like building creates an elaborate fantasy constructed within an actual place.

In all the painting could be depicted as Magritte’s real life dreams or fantasies. The way he associates surrealism and modern day architecture creates a mood of absolute metamorphosis between good and bad. Gene’s way of an unrealistic event into a realistic world shows off his talents and creative imagination.
