Bill Viola

So I'm sitting outside my parents house and I hear their next door neighbor playing the acoustic guitar among other things, but i am just so relaxed I think its like helping me do my art homework ha. So i read his biography, and i learned about him, but looking through his paintings tells me so much more about him. I chose to look him up as my first artist because I remember hearing his name in class. Thinking it would help if i actually knew who someone was when we talk about him. Out of all his work i liked this one the most. I just think it is so powerful. The color says one thing to me then the picture says another.

It's like dark and so different, i don't wanna say demonic because i don't get that feeling at all. But i could kind of see it. But then its a little reassuring like an angel with wings. Thats what i really like about art no matter what he was thinking i can still form my own opinion about it. To me its like an angel rescuing someone, its like so powerful, but its not a peaceful angle nor angry one. This piece is so different from anything i have seen. I feel like i could continue staring at it and not get bored. (: I really like this guy.
