Artist Critique - John Paul Caponigro's "Exhalation"

After looking through all of the artists we were given to chose to write a critique on, I decided to do mine on John Paul Caponigro's work "Exhalation". What drew me to these images was the fact that they all seemed to have a life to each of them. To me, they seem like two of the necessities we need to live, water and air, combined to create a very surreal and otherworldly feeling to them. Another thing that I really enjoyed about all of the images was that all of the light, airy, cloud-like designs all each had their own shapes and patterns to them in each image, yet they were all consistent because each of the shapes and patterns were created from the same objects. So not only did this keep it consistent, it kept you visually interested and curious. I felt all of the patterns made from all of these cloud-like objects gave a sense of awe and wonder because not only are they in interesting shapes, but the lightness of them all. In my eyes, they all had a refreshing feel to them, and that was something I quite enjoyed.
