In the article “The Human Body as a Microcosmic source of Macrocosmic Values in Calligraphy,” John Hay explains calligraphy that use good “brush strength has much bone” (85). This analysis of calligraphic brushstrokes can be transferred to examining the brushwork (in this case, carvings) used in paintings. The lines of the demon’s face have more bone because they are bolder and have more structure, whereas the lines of Kohada’s face has more flesh. The wrinkles and outlines of the demon’s face seem to be painted with more certainty and confidence than those painted in the skeleton. Hay argues the brushstrokes reflect the personality of the painter, but if this idea were to be extended to infer the character of the demon, then it can be understood that there is more
Despite this art piece consisting of a spiritual story, the audience for it does not necessarily apply solely to Buddhism. Without context of the work’s spiritual connections or original purpose and relying solely on visual analysis, Seated Guanyin plays with the idea of emulating life. For example, the sculptor 's choice of utilizing a highly naturalistic pose where Guanyin rests casually atop the stone, leaning on one arm and sitting asymmetrically feels incredibly humanistic and mirrors reality. Human beings do not always sit with perfect, symmetrical posture. By replicating human posture, the sculptor makes the piece more relatable, and thus, more life-like.
Born in San Francisco, California, Tim Hawkinson, 55, is a sculptural artist who currently works and resides in Los Angeles, California. Interestingly, there exists no single medium in particular that Tim employs in his works; rather, with a widely diverse variety of found, purchased, or created materials and components, each creation he builds is its own unique statement, each one a separate experiment in material study and fabrication. There are, however, several common themes that run through the majority of his pieces, in addition to the splash of flavor that is his own unique style and artistic methods. Often, Tim’s works are somewhat anatomical in nature; that is, a reflection of not simply the human body but also the essence of human

The objects that are visible on this painting are: garlic, a glass of water, a coffee pot and other small branches of some plants. The fact that Chardin usually paints the main objects on a dark shaded background, usually painted with brown and then tinted with red or green, is also visible in this artwork. For instance, the color white has been used to paint the garlics and also the light part of the surface and part of the glass of water, which shows the reflection of color white from the garlics, as well as some highlights on the coffee pot. This shows

From then on, I had to put aside my ‘art instinct’ just like my mom did.” He dropped the cigarette to the floor and crushed it out. “That’s why I’m always proud of your dad, succeeding that ‘art instinct’ and being celebrated as an oriental painter.” As I grow older, I get to know what it really means by “art instinct,” the leading spirit which has driven me to organize the exhibition for the colorblind; to travel alone to Louvre and Vatican Museums; to work as a teaching assistant at the university program “Korean Art & Asian Painting” aimed at foreign students.

Even the woman’s frame and posture seem to follow the lines created by the railings of the viewing box. The railings are also implied lines, the first thing our eyes go to is the woman, and then we follow the railings to the man who has his gaze set on the woman. The man’s gaze gives us implied lines that lead us back to the main focus of the painting, the woman. The artist also uses light and dark to guide our eyes to the important parts of the artwork. Most of the artwork is dark, while the woman and the man looking at her are in the light.
