The Fourth Dimension

The fourth Dimesion 

For the fourth dimension introduction, presented to us was a virtual lecture with Rory speaking. It entailed how a variety of artists approached 4D. There were many pieces of work but the stuff that appealed to me where the ones of quite a natural nature.
 I really enjoyed "Anya Gallaccios work. In the Tate, she displayed fresh flowers, this piece was called "Preserve Beauty". Obviously over time the flowers would deteriate and decompose. I feel like this had a really strong message.
Like Anya I wanted to show time passing, however I wanted to do it through painting. I started off a painting with an impressionistic feel to do it because I wanted to represent the world being painted with in a fleeting moment which is also inspired by Leonid Afremov.
I went to paint a second piece but it turned into quite a still life kind of painting however I thought this offered a nice contrast between my first painting and the last painting I created.
I used a palette knife and oils to manipulate the paint on the canvas to show movement with in the scene but also with in the paint itself.
