So I went to the Art Exhibit in the Multicultural center of the SRB.
The title is "Bridgeing Through the Arts: Transracial Community Building" and I gotta say.
It was pretty neat.
But I would like to focus on three paintings preceding it.
Specifically, the three that guard the northern wall of the open portion of the SRB.
These paintings, which you cannot avoid seeing as you go into the main area of the hall, depict the nude human form. The leftmost image views a human from the back, cut off at the upper leg. The rightmost image views a woman's head and torso, cut off below the breast. The center image views a slightly abstracted closeup of a neckline.
They all have a particular motif of en extremely large variety of hues used instead of traditional skin tones. The tones used add up to the classification I would call a
Minus the "Reading" bit.
The color scheme leaves you with a sense that, not only are racial interrelations being payed attention to, but that the interactions and inclusiveness of race based community works also have important and highly interesting merit.
The beauty in the form and composition of the paintings mirrors the beauty in the concept of transracial community building.
Or at least that is what I read into it as.
It is through that, that these paintings set the mood of the art exhibit, and the mood of the Multicultural center as a whole.
