Chester Arnold

 An artist that has a great way to express his youth and a bright modern, complex ways, but yet you can find biblical time in his work as well. Chester Arnold “On Earth as it is in Heaven” exhibit at the Nevada museum of arts was very impressive in the way Chester has transform politics and social responsibility in to his works of art. 

As I was viewing the artworks I came across “Reports to the Contrary” this painting was painted 2007-08 on oil on linen. It looked to me to be Manhattan New York in central park the wind is gusting up with trouble on the financial system papers, notes, reports, a business mans hat tossed in the wind. The skis are moody with heavy clouds. What can the future hold? As it maybe the work of art was sold to Global Financial services giant Lehman Brothers for it’s corporate art collection. Not long after Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy  (This information was noted from the exhibits side notes). 

 

I see it ironic that Chester Arnold foreseen the futures down fall of the financial district back in 2007. I like the painting because of it s setting, the park and the buildings on a stormy day. There is a building with a green roof at the edge of the park that reminds me of where John Lennon lived.

Splitting atoms

John M. Septiem

Steel,Glass,Copper,Ceramic

There is a glass bottle pouring positives (white) and negative (black) atoms balls on to an axe head. Each side of the axe head there is a bowel witch holds the split atoms. One bowel has black hafts the other white hafts.

 

This piece is telling me that it won’t be long before anyone can split atoms. “Splitting atoms made easy”. I don’t like or dislike it. The message is clear to me, take something as complex as splitting an atom and simplifies it, in a real way.
