Whitney Biennial Visit

Last week I visited the Whitney Biennial and I was actually surprised at some of the works. I'm glad that I had prior knowledge to some of the works because I looked at some of the exhibits that were up online. One of my favorite artists that I saw at the museum was Verne Dawson. I liked how he used paint to create an abstract piece that looks somewhat realistic. I also liked the symmetry that was seen in many of his pieces. Another artist that I was really attracted to was Roland Flexner. He also worked a lot with abstract work and in black and white. I'm pretty sure that he used white charcoal on black paper which created a very interesting effect. My last artist that I really liked was Pae White. He created a large tapestry that was titled smoke and was stretched across a wall. It was done with cotton and polyester so that it has a very organic effect to it.
