Today, I went to the Arts at Baruch workshop in the Miskin building. I was amazed that this building even existed. When I first entered, I was amazed at the architecture of the building. The indoor walls were made out of marble and looked very elegant.
At the arts tour, we saw pieces of artwork by Mercedes Matter, an unknown artist, whom mainly focused on still life. I was intrigued that Mercedes focused much of her life on drawing the same genre of art, fruits on a table. I really enjoyed that her work was very abstract. She did not draw the still life of the fruits in an obvious manner, her artwork was very striking and it made you think. Throughout the tour, I was trying to point out to myself the different types of fruit that she had drawn. I was able to point out apples, pears, avocados and papayas.
It is very interesting that Mercedes Matter is an unknown artist. Her work are very interesting, and I feel that the art gallery at Miskin will make her more well known.
