Greno "The Dream"
>> Thursday, September 24, 2009
The Dream is an amazing piece by the artist that goes by the name of Greno (first picture from the top, click to enlarge! ). There is so much for me to say about just this single piece, but after looking through all of his art, I found more important evidences to confirm that Greno really has something going on with his style (as far unique and captivating)
The Dream carries a lot of textures and tones of blue which makes me think of various finishes and weights of denim fabric. All the decorations and dotted touches are in the right places. The square and checkered details add a false sense of dimension but still keep it fun visually. Last but not least, I adore the contrast of all the colors focused in one hand, as if there was a transition ready-to-happen from blue tones- to a full mix of colors about to spread all over her body.
In conclusion... sometimes you need a dysfunctional and messy display in order to regroup and make sense of things. It brings a better focus to what's more interesting or important. Greco’s art presents a good combination of- somewhat messy visuals, incorporated inside a basic portrait drawing. But one can enjoy the more organized details or the less complicated, depending on your taste, but this is what makes it interesting and a joy to look at.
