Look at this Bottle!

;;natura ritratto (n.) (still portraits)--

A collection of objects found in typical still lifes of the artist Giorgio Morandi. The forms are easily recognizable and represent organic shapes and architecture. A new manner of looking needs to be done for these objects that are taken for granted.

Objects found in still lifes are commonly reproduced by a variety of artists. I, personally, take these paintings and drawings for granted but are a requirement in fundamental studies of art. Recently, I learned of the artist Giorgio Morandi. Morandi's paintings of still lifes (he painted one almost every day) reflect his understanding of nature. This artist was also inspired by the city of Bologna and the architecture it held. My interpretation of my collection will be to combine art pieces from Da Vinci, Warhol, Banksy, and Jeff Koons with still life paintings. The people in these artworks will be replaced with the objects of my collection. The purpose of this is to create a curiosity in my audience. I also want to make viewers question the manner in which they view objects such as bottles, glasses, flowers, and vases. So far, I will be reproducing these images onto a large piece of paper. Afterwards, I am planning on mounting them or framing my works.
