Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #167 'Red Storm'

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

The name of this art photograph is: 'Red Storm'


I'll be very blunt about this one. Please, take a longer look and let me know if you if you can see a shouting face all over the frame or not? :) If you can, it makes me very happy. However, after a longer observation, it could also become a portrait of a soldier wearing a gas mask. Happened to me. The aggressive colour scheme works just as well and the meaning is not so very different. This is the beauty of expressive abstract art - you are free to enjoy it whatever way you like. You can imagine things, let the art play with your mind while your mind plays with art.

The reality is fully distorted in this double exposure, The pieces are used to create a completely new reality, from a subjective perspective of an observer.

I used the aggressive and very saturated combination of red and green to emphasize the moment and the strength of the shout which I first envisioned. I can almost hear it coming out of that wide open mouth. The atmosphere adds to the emotional momentum and is evoking an aggressive mood. Emotional experience is achieved through the almost complete destruction of physical reality.

The naked tree branches in the bottom are the most focused object and they work toward the creation of uneasiness. This is anything but an easy-going image. The small white areas also add to that feeling and up the dynamics even though there is no black tone at all.

This storm of red colour looks quite scary to me. I wonder where all that came in from. Seriously. I usually make positive art.

How did the title influence your observation before you read the first few lines?

Enjoy! :)

I'm glad I didn't miss this one. I thought it was a sink with red liquid and moss ready to be drained but when you said something about the trees and the title, I got the idea. It's a red sky (at least for me)!

I see the magician's shadow in color demension, if you wish I will share your picture again with a bit crossed her @velimir

This is a magician in the picture, sorry I have ruined your pretty picture

No man, on the contrary...awesome find! :) I can see it!!!

It's simply amazing wish you success
and do favor me support us as well

thank you @velimir for the reply, I just looked into your photo dimension, that's all I can find in a mysterious photo

Truth is I checked the picture first, Was horrified by the strong emotion it makes me feel, focused on the black hand I noticed in the picture and this comparison popped into my mind, face and hands and colors:
scream.jpg
then I read your post and noticed at the end I didn't read the title. which is fitting to the picture, but in my mind - the the photograph is named "the scream"- the white hand that I saw in the circle I painted and the oval black shape made me think of this famous picture immediately, and I felt pretty much the same thing as when I looked upon the painting - this picture and painting express the scream of a person (or an aspect of the person, an aspect that may erupt in each of us from time to time) who feels detached from the everyday routine scene and life around him, it may be an amorphic, postmodern feeling of emptiness and desperation from the everyday dullness. the contradiction to everyday life is achieved by the people walking and enjoying the,selves in the painting and the trees/bushes in the picture.
If we want to find something positive, we can look upon the fact that the usual life and the optimistic way of looking at life is still there, in the contradicting objects we mentioned - we must brace them in order to stay alive mentally, otherwise we will drift to the turbulence trying to swallow the picture in velimir's art (look for it - the turbulence is in apparent in the lower right part of the photo)

Thanks Velimir!
Nati.

Love it. Sometimes we need other pictures to explain the feelings in Velimir's photography :)

Cool!!!

Wow, I didn't see that, now I do. Thx @kivsha you re awesome!

My pleasure velimir my friend 😊

Yea I can see that too, but its like one of those magic eye pictures. New angles just appear.

The future will be better

Velimir
It looks like some of Mark Rothko jumped inside your eye as you snapped this with out his signature rectangle vibe. The over exposure brings out a layering effect that is stormy,
Yet the white highlights lift it out of form...and actually gave me solace, abstractly very interesting.

Welcome to Red Storm Guys!

After taking a very deep and longer look i concluded it is Honey-Hive with glass Walls those bushes made my point more logical as Honey and Bushes seem very much related to each other.
Second thing found in it is Door Lock , yes that round like thing seems so.
At number three i found 2 pink hands crying for help from a house in fire :P

Yes i can imagen anything but you deserve an Oscar as your imagination always goes beyond :P :P Believe you me i did not find any Soldier in it @velimir

Yes you are right! if you did not write about it, I did not immediately notice :) If you look closely you will see a screaming face, and red color adds this photo of additional aggression. The screaming face itself brings fear into the photo.
Bare tree branches really add photos of abstraction and illusory. But from any point of view and detailed inspection, it looks frightening and creepy. It does not look like you, why would it?
Thank you

hahaha I meant my usual pacifistic and emotional style :)

That is a good one! Like a surreal black hole. :)

I love your picture! Great composition and color! The bloody red first made me think of crime kind of background but the pink it has makes a nice contrast.
keep on pushing

muy buena tu foto! hay mucha curiosidad en lo que refleja tu captación se nota la mano pero si expandes la mirada notas que esa mano esta tomando o sujetando un balón. tambien veo ese grito de exclamación. Algo que un buen fotografo puede obtener. te sigo

Good work here. It's sad because nowdays isn't that normal to see people with the imagination to do things like this aesthetically; So I'm happy to see this.
Keep going.

yes you are right @velimer by taking a longer look,I notice that portrait sometimes look like a shouting face and from different angle it looks like portrait of a soldier wearing a gas mask.You have also notice that sometimes when we look up the sky the clouds also create some very beautiful and amazing pictures.I hope you have also notice that.thanks for sharing.

This is very stronger. The use of the red in large proportion compared with the green makes it more vibrate. That is theory of color. The true proportion of the red and green is 50%-50%, when change the proportion this happens. Very interesting.
I am venezuelan girl, student art. (Sorry if my english is bad or freak)

Welcome to Steemit, art student from Venezuela! :)

It's too stressful photo for me. I'm almost afraid of her. But it's really a photo that can be played with our imagination. Congratulations

Ova fotografija je zamalo toliko strasna, da se je bojim predugo gledati. Ali fotografija je toliko dobra, jer se moze poigrati sa nasim umom. Cestitke

I see a soldier under water with a gasmask. The title actually does make it look like redstorm which was what got my attention. Nice post sir

I can see a mouth that looks like its screaming.

@velimir how difficult it is to pick .but when i rotate me laptop screen i saw a skeleton with big eyes and a hand of him.and ahving some thing on his head nothing else <3

hahaha not bad :) try relaxing and let it just slowly sink into your mind ;)

Looks like a haunted cliff with some kind of liquid at the bottom, and i also see hands and faces popping out, nice puzzle you had me observing this image for quite a while

i can imagine it as a sink hole like... and yeah even can feel like a mask

Yes this pulls me in. It reminds me of teenage times when you try to come back home but the city is twirling and spinning and flickering.

Interesting photo)

Yo veo el ojo de una mosca

Wow, amazing I must confess....I thought it was someone drowning in a red mud and screaming for help because I saw something that looks like a human hand. But nevertheless this is really a great artwork. More grace to you

little bit confusing but use of colors is interesting
