Step 2: The Gallery
Questions about the
physical space:
1. What type of lighting is used? The type of lighting used in the space was Florescent lighting which were all aligned on the ceiling having direct light to all the pieces of work.
2. What colors are used on the walls? Surprisingly the space where all the pieces of work were held was just white. When reading through the pieces of art I would have thought maybe colors of red would be on the walls to represent the sexuality.
3. What materials are used in the interior architecture of the space? The materials used throughout the space seemed very contemporary to me. Everything was white, very bright and clean.
4. How is the movement of the viewer through the gallery space? The movement as a viewer through the gallery was good. The gallery space open and clear of any clutter or objects in the way.

Step 4: Art Criticism Exercise
Title:
Reel Love Series/Bricklaying Upstream
Artist:
Jackie Felix
Year:
1987-1988
Media: oil
on canvas
Size:
60x120 inches
Analysis:
I found this art so nice and interesting. Just looking at the image you can
create your own story or interpretation of what’s going on. The artwork is
split in half. One side being red and the other side black. On the red side of
the artwork there are two figures a man and a woman hugging each other staring
each other in the eyes, the woman lifted in the air. While the other side it
was a sketch in white of a woman that’s nude looks like she’s falling from the
air.
Title:
Blood Oranges
Artist:
Jackie Felix
Year: 1997
Media: oil
on paper
Size:
21x30 inches
Analysis:
This piece of work also caught my eye. This was one of the artworks that used
brighter colors but still continued on with the same theme of sexuality. In the
piece the background is a sketch of a stage with curtains side by side in color
brown. With a nude female in the middle of the stage with her head tilt back
reaching for purple grapes from the ceiling. The background of the stage is
bright orange and coral helping the figure stand out each more.
Title: Moon over Malibu
Artist: Jackie Felix
Year: 1907-88
Media: oil on canvas
Size: 60x120 inches
Analysis: This image was
also a very interesting piece of work. The image is once again split in half. One
side being brighter than the other; one side yellow and the other side shades
of black and grey. On the yellow side there is a man in a straight jacket
hanging from the ceiling over a pool of water. While on the dark side there is
a man and a woman hugging each other passionately. I found that his piece of
work represents real love.
