Color

While walking through the show, I found it hard to not focus on the different way that color appeared in each artists work. Min Kim Park's pictures of "superwomen" were not only striking because of the determined looks the models had on their faces but also the bright colors they were dressed in. The colors made perfect sense to see on a superhero, it made it all the more believable. Ellen Brooks' pictures through a screen made the colors fuzzy, less real but very eye catching. Patrick Nagatami's works were amazing to look at. He used incredible detail and I am sure much time carefully placing the masking tape over his pictures underneath. The colors became muted, more pastel looking and very unreal which worked well with the fact that the pictures were of deities. It was amazing to me how unique everything was and the ways that the colors in the spectrum can be changed in ways most people would not think of.
