This quarter, we took a walking field trip to a gallery to see an exhibit by an artist named Steve Hedberg, a Richmond artist whose art has transformed from photorealistic to abstract to his current abstracted landscapes. He paints Richmond as well as fictitious cities. Thematically, his art really reminded me of Collin's and Audrey's. I was really attracted to the dramatic and vibrant use of color and abstract shapes. He was especially skilled at painting clouds and sky, which I find difficult, to say the least. Additionally, I enjoyed seeing art by a professional artist of recognizable landmarks from my home. Overall, I was very impressed with his work, and found the exhibit to be very complete. Another artist we saw on this trip was Charlotte Culot, who does Mixed Media abstract expressionist style artwork. I had very mixed feelings on these: while I was very attracted to her monochromatic work (which reminded me of Rothko), I found some of her edgier work with complementary color schemes to be visually unappealing.
