New Orleans Art Inner Journey

There was so much art to be seen in this historic city. The art forms range from street art, landscapes, culture, buildings, native people, and events. I got to see and visit many different art galleries. The art used was so different in every gallery. There was textured paintings, watercolors, sculptures, paper mache, and photography. The one art gallery that stuck out the most too me was Michalopoulos art gallery. This was a gallery that me and my friends had just walked upon in our free time as we were exploring the streets of New Orleans. This one stuck out the most to me because this artist was one that I had done some research on prior to leaving for trip and that I was personally interested in. I think it was fate for us to just walk right into it when we weren't looking for it. Michalopoulos paintings are very abstract and show a lot of depth in them. He incorporates the swaying look in his paintings and giving that abstract feel. I get lost viewing his paintings and my imagination kicks in to where I put myself in the photo. He does a lot of paintings of buildings and architecture in New Orleans. His paintings use very vibrant colors and feature exaggerated viewpoints and perspectives. A lot of his paintings are looking up at a building or show a whole street from the closest building the the farthest. He really depicts the depth and makes it feel very real. I find his work very intriguing and art that I would love to put up in remembrance of New orleans in my own house if I had the budget to afford it.
