Exhibition 1: Eazel

In Ritchie’s Charles Ritchie: Welcome to Suburbia, Ritchie explores and creates impressively small scaled drawings that explore landscape. In work that is smaller and more minimal, it is crucial that the artist be patient to avoid mix-ups in their composition. For instance, most of Ritchie’s work includes small compositions of various sizes and lengths. This essential when try to make a focal point of make variety in your work.

In Seoul, Ritchie is debuting his art between the dates of March 12 and April 28 of this year.

Ritchie’s work in the gallery is unique in that the artist incorporates various mediums. Mediums such as gouache, graphite, crayon, charcoal, and ink only to name a few. Altogether the artist was determined to play with space within the gallery to make the audience immerse themselves in an intimate setting. The intimate setting being the small artwork.

I can consider adding this type of style towards my palette and work upon that style. This style is favorable for me because it allows for the point to still be made with risk of losing or the need for more content. Considering the execution and consideration of not only the artwork, but the space around it has to be inspirational. Moreover, getting the audience to react in such a way is essential too.

Wasting Time on the Internet Chapter 8

To preface, this article pertaining to the presidential elections was a very fascinating story and was following this for a while because I found that being able to elect someone like Donald Trump caused sites 4chan celebrate it as some kind of feat for our country. Typically, forums on 4chan share ideas that are commonly all over the place or spontaneous like posts and threads from other social media sites such as Twitter. With Goldsmith in Chapter 8, he goes on to preach that we are generally are vessels of righteousness and that through social media, we are generally affected by things such as “meme culture”. This whole meme culture can also serve as a catalyst for other terms as a “zoomer”, which is generally considered a meme but taken seriously through other forms of media such as the news. When considering the rapid proliferation of younger adults and this new wave of ideas that contradict the generation before, it is important to consider the overall nature of change that is to undergo in America. It is honestly really astonishing whenever there are stories such as this because although extremely ambiguous the public should be, how the modernization of society is evolving should not be undermined.
