Kemistry Gallery

I visited the Kemistry Gallery where the works of Yoni Alter were presented. I visited this gallery because i wanted to see the bold colours as this is something I wanted to recreate with my own work. Yoni Alter had some different works to what I have seen before using bold colours and familuar surroundings of London's city skyline however it was uninspiring because it was overworked when it could have been kept simple.

Some of the images where made shiny which meant that the light reflected the glitter in them and made it hard to see. They really made me feel like my eyes were playing tricks on me and this was uncomfortable to view. Although these were not my favourite I can see that the shiny feel could be used to show the reflection on the buildings.

The big wall as you walk in is very striking as it makes you feel like you are looking up at these  tall buildings. My initial thoughts are of my days a child when my dad took me to Canary wharf for the first time and as I looked up outside of the building I was amazed by the height. This image although a better one than the rest could have increased the amount of depth it produced by using colour maybe in a different way. I would have preferred the image to have more detail although this isn't the style of work presented.
