I had a lot of fun going to the art gallery opening sponsored by Professor Hansen's friend, Mat Gleason. I had never been to a gallery opening so I didn't really know what to expect. When my friend and I finally found the Coagula Curatorial Gallery, we were very surprised with how open and relaxed the environment was which made the whole event more enjoyable. I noticed that the artist was taking pictures with people while she had a beer in her hand, which made her seem easy-going and inviting. Upon actually entering the gallery I was very surprised with the art that was on display. It was whimsical and almost childlike but very meaningful at the same time. It was also very colorful and I soon realized that it drawn with markers. I had never seen marker art before but I decided that I really liked it as I looked at the pieces. One of my favorite pieces is in the picture below and I like this piece because I thought it was very cool how the artists kind of overlapped the faces of the butterfly people/angles. The overlapping kind of reminded me of Two-Face from Batman and I interpreted the effect to be like the different sides of the butterfly people/angles. At the gallery, I was also able to see Mat Gleason and his hair was a very nice shade of royal blue which looked great. I have to say, that I enjoyed my first art gallery opening and seeing a different side of Chinatown that I didn't know existed.
