Flower Gallery
Flower Gallery" by on megumi Akiyoshi (2007) is like bringing a wild garden right indoors. It looks just like something straight out of 1960s with the bright colors, big flowers, and continuous, floor-to-ceiling colors and art. This art is made of frames, acrylic paint, plywood, cardboard, and transparent sheet, which shows the versatility of the artist and how she can use just about anything to make art. She is performance artist, too, and wears her art; some of it looks very much like this work. This is not just a piece of art; it is an entire room that is the art, which is unusual, but very interesting. That way the colors blend and create different angles and shadows, and make it more interesting and exciting. The colors are very vibrant and alive, and look like something that would be popular during the Hippie era.
Could you live in a room like this? This art was created for an exhibit called "Making a Home," and I don't know if I would want to live in a room like this all the time. It is very busy, and very exciting, and I think it would be hard to relax in a room like this. It would always keep you awake and looking at the design. However, I think that in some rooms, it might be good; it might be in a room you don't use too much, so you don't have to be stimulated by it all the time. I think that it is interesting that the artist included mirrors and doorways, so that you can see yourself in the artwork and how you look with all those colors. I think that helps make the viewer a part of the art, and gives them a feeling of belonging in it, and even helping to create it, because each person will look different inside the art, and so, make it kind of like their own.
The artist has not come up with a new idea, because this kind of art has been around for 30 years or more, but she has made it her own by making it unique. It could come from the 60s, but it has a new twist because it makes the viewer think they are part of it, and it makes an entire room into art.
