Sometimes it just flows and this was one of those times!<BR/><BR/>Thanks!

I recall viewing another piece that you were working on, some time ago. <BR/>After viewing several examples of Hundertwasser's work, I can certainly see the influence he has had on this piece. It strikes me as a snapshot of a village in Italy (Sienna), with the imposing tower. But much more. The background is muted against the bright golden dome. There is a religious significance to the dome which travels back over a millenium. The dome once signified the ascent into heaven, the pinnacle of earthly wisdom, and was only to be found in the most holy places around the globe, i.e Dome of the Rock. Recently however, it has taken on a more pedestran role - capping legislative buildings, state and provincial capitols. But, it overpowers the piece and gives a special meaning to this composition.<BR/>Yet, I must also admit that this might be a biosphere, lit from within - placed within a modern neo-classically designed village. Either interpretation works. <BR/>Your lines are fluid and well balanced, mindful of Hundertwasser's own methods. There is a marvellous contrast between the shapes - this is soooo.. tactile - I really want to reach out and feel it's lines and textures, which would reinforce the visual impression of the piece. It teases and challenges the eye. But, that is the hallmark of Hundertwasser's style - I think that he would approve!! Five stars!!!!!Silverbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922187484437683319noreply@blogger.com
