Description: In this painting I noticed a slash of blue ending in an explosion of black on a field of white. In the center I notice a blue shark and five tiny squid attempting to flee from the attacking shark.
Analysis: Large organic flowing lines of blue and black, with a contrast of smaller black, detailing lines to show direction, texture of turbulence and energy. Value is shown within the wash of blue and black.
Interpretation: I believe the painting is showing that through many, a larger attacking force can be avoided. If there was only one squid the ink cloud would be much smaller, ending up as lunch. The shark being the large attacking force and the large ink cloud a deturent produced by the many squid. The textured use of line showes the tubulence and speed of the pursuit.
Judgement: I enjoyed this piece due to simple use of line and color. The contrast of space and color grabs the audience attention to focus on the finer detail, leading ones eye to the smaller less prominent squid.
