On Monday, Skai and myself attended the Sidney Mishkin Gallery located near the Baruch Campus. Not only was I unaware of this gallery, but also unaware of the fact that it was 10 minutes away and more importantly FREE. On entering, the building seemed rather official and I felt as though I was entering a court room which made me even more excited to see the artwork. After checking our Baruch ID’s we were granted access and I was partially surprised at the size of the gallery. My classmates had mentioned that the gallery was small; but I would consider it tiny. However just because it’s tiny, doesn’t mean it’s bad. The artwork was captivating and thought-provoking. My favorite piece, as you can see in the picture, included the skeleton pieces: as it was clear, intriguing and odd. I also liked the colors and visual techniques used in the other paintings because it provided a good variety. There was one picture, that caught my attention, of what seemed like a prosthetic leg with a red to black ombre background. I especially liked the ombre background as I felt it emphasized the “prosthetic leg”, making it the main focus of the artwork. The colors used also created dimensions and brought my attention back to it a couple of times. The gallery, also included 2 other pieces that I particularly liked because of its colors. They included a variety of neon colors all of which created a euphoric feel. As I described to Skai, “It felt as though I was on LSD.”
