I have selected a piece of artwork by
Caio Machado. I chose to critique this image because it relates to the project
that I am doing now, which is called Museum of Colour. I have decided to choose
objects that started as red in color then turn them into blue. But by doing
this it changes the perspective on how people see it. I find this piece of
artwork to be overwhelming but appealing at the same time. The fact that he has
changed the colour of the ketchup changes how I feel towards it. The red feels
threatening, where as the blue feels relaxing and makes me feel safe.
I believe he wanted us
to feel safe rather than sacred because red is a common colour used in warning signs,
fire engines, fire extinguisher etc. and we see it everyday and so by changing
the colour he is wanting us to feel safe and relaxed.
