Time

Biography:

Description: This gives me the feeling that Dali himself painted this! It has the same type of format with the dark fore-ground and the distorted time element. The blurred background high-lights the glass and makes the emphasis on whats going on inside of the glass.

Analysis: This is an asymetrical digital picture with a merger of the wine bottle neck coming in from the left. The lighter background allows the viewer to focus on the main focal point of the glass and the clock. The rolling, dark "ground" looks as if the roots of the tree are part of the landscape and yet it could be clothe.

Interpretation: I believe that Colman blurred his background like Dali to make an emphasis on the focal point of the glass. His use of contrast between the ground level and the sky gives a great amount of atmosphere and perspective, much like Dali. One sences movement with the flow out of the bottle and in Dali's there is also a flow of the melting of the clocks.

Judgement: I equally like both of these images, for what it is worth, Dali painted his and the sterotypical sence in our world is that photo manipulation is not art. I am glad to see people like Ivan Colman showing us that is not true and stories can be told in all art forms.
