This would have to be one of my favorite paintings. Swans Reflecting Elephants by Dali shows how art can trick the mind. This is one of my favorite things about art, making the viewer question what they are seeing.

Eugene Grasset

Dale Chihuly
Dale Chihuly does blown glass work in many forms. Hes done many installations throughout the U.S. of his gorgeous works. His inspirations range from flowers to sea life. Many of his sculptural work is also functional such as this piece which is used as a chandelier. I enjoyed looking at an artist whose pieces can completely change the feel of a room, and the fact that the pieces are on permanent display in some of these places makes his work living art.

Miquel Barcelo
Miquel Barcelo is a contemporary artist who often features natural elements. This is a picture of his installation work Room XX. It features different colored paint literally dripping from the ceiling. A new aluminum ceiling was set in place for the exhibit in order to be able to withhold all of the plaster sculpture. It was a collabrative effort with different architects helping to make the installation come to life. Different techniques were used such as the use of paintball guns in order to put the paint on the ceiling.
Dan Witz
Dan Witz is a painter who specializes in photorealism. This painting which is oil on canvas is named Big Mosh Pit, 2007. Its amazing how realistic his paintings can be. I love the repetition of people that make the mosh pit. He really knows how to capture the mood of a crazy concert scene.
