I chose the theme natural because most of the world we live in is organic. The words origin and organic are closely related and this idea fascinates me.

The art works in this exhibit have many ways of interpreting this subject. Alia’s and Kristina’s drawings both look real but one looks rugged while the other is more refined and idealistic. Karolina’s, on the other hand, is more stylized.

The mediums the artists chose totally change the way things look. Painted ones have a big variety of color and blending. The graphite drawings have soft values and texture. In the photos, the flower is more dramatic and picks up the light while the cracked log is more about texture and composition. The linoleum print has a retro feel while the three-dimensional work gives a more abstracted view of nature.

I truly enjoyed curating this exhibit.  I hope you can see for yourself how East Brunswick teen artists have been inspired by the natural world.
