Abstract Images

The painting I chose is Interrogation by Ali Banisadr.

What drew me to this painting was the bright colors. This painting feels very chaotic, there are lines going in every direction and a broad range of colors are used. This painting seems to show a landscape, the sun at the top toward the middle. A blue sky which seems to be covered in smoke. The use of dark grey paint that looks fluid makes it look sticky like think black smoke. Over the dark grey paint, white paint is used the white looks light and fluffy like smoke. In the middle of the painting coming from the left side, it looks like there is a stream of water. The bottom half of the painting looks like grass and this is the most chaotic part of the painting. At the very bottom of the painting there are details which show strands of grass. The bottom half of the painting uses a range of colors, there are blobs of dull colors and on top of that there are lines of saturated colors swirling around in different directions. The blobs of color seem to represent individual figures, but they are in clusters. On the some of the figures there are bold pops of saturated red. This painting seems to depict chaos in a specific place, it looks like it is showing a war or battle. Although there are bright colors used in the painting, it has an overall dark feeling to it.
