FMP show critique

The peice is a piece of art that stands out and makes you look at it with curiosity, it makes you wonder what is the artists view on freedom with the drawing telling and showing a story about people walking the streets along with buildings from photos and other being totally made up from the artists mind it makes you stop and think along with wonder how it could express freedom through a landscape drawing of a street view. It holds your attention with the detail of the shadows of the people, the view from which the drawing is supposed to show how it all fits together. In my opinion the artist is trying to say that people dont use there freedom enough or dont use it to thier advantage or full potencial to get where they want to be in life, this is shown through the youth in the drawing walking round in black with thier huds up in the shadows and other people in crowds going thier every day lives and not taking thier freedom by the horns and doing something with it. I would say it is a quality piece of art as the artist has spent time drawing in the details and going over the piece with layers of colour to make it stand out and make it look as realistic as possible, along with the peice really being thought about as it is not something you would simbolyse as freedom so it is a really individual piece that shows the artists talent and skill. The artist has used all of the space available, leaving no white background along with it being mixed media with the artist using both water colour paints and water colour pencil to show he can use a range of media along with aranging the peices in a rising order of evolution of the art work and in a sort of brick work form to link in with the urban feel the work is trying to show, the artist has also shown he can use tone with the brightness and darkness, showing where the light would be coming from as well as the peice being vibrant with a range of colour  from black to yellow. In my opinion the show venue was not as inviting as it could have been as the church was cold and not as light as it could have been so that all the peices in the exhibition could have had more light to show all the detail of the artwork. The venue did not really symbolize freedom to me either as the venue was as i said cold and a little gloomy where as most people would view freedom as warm and inviting with warm colours and light to show the real brightness of the peices of artwork and show them at thier best
