Our visit to the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore was a very interesting experience. When we first walked in, we were greeted by the staff at the museum and they gave us brochures on Fred Tomaselli's artwork. We then walked through the galleries and saw his artwork firsthand. It was so intricate and there was so much detail within each painting. An untitled piece that Tomaselli had created in 1999 of leaves or something of that nature, really caught my eye because of the colors alone. Then when I looked even closer I realized that the painting was in layers, each layer strategically placed ontop of another, creating an image that almost popped out at the onlooker. His other paintings were interesting too because they were images created out of other images. For example, his painting that I placed in this blog is of a human body, and the body is created with smaller colored body parts to bring a whole other dimension into the painting. I thought that the Tang Teaching Museum was a great place to experience great contemporary artwork.
