Bellagio Art
Bellagio Art
While deciding on a piece of art that sparked my eye I was drawn to glass sculptor Dale Chihuly’s Fiori di Como on page 24. This work of art uses amazing colors and implied lines throughout the piece giving it an unrealistic yet amazing symmetry throughout the work. It is placed on a 70 foot long ceiling suspended above the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, dazzling patrons with its unique designs and colors. When I look at the artistic style of such a creations I feel very happy inside, as if I am staring into a never-ending depth of color and shape, I see many colors flowing together and it makes me think as if, maybe this was the reason behind such a wild creation. Colors, like people, come in many shades and when combined form new colors, they come in multitude of shapes and sizes but always flow together and form something new, something magnificent. Something like Fiori di Como. The lines in this creation I believe would be considered implied because no definite line was used to create it. The shapes are more organic but there are some geometric shapes that create the masterpiece that rests in the Bellagio. The mass is implied, giving it a look of density that isn’t actually there, much like the illusion of depth because if you were to look up at the art it would seem as if you were looking into a new dimension that could continue as deep as you saw. This is an example of linear perspective, how you look-how you see, if one was to look up from the floor the art would look deeper than if one was on the ceiling looking 4 feet from it. The shapes overlap and were placed there for a reason, I believe it was to aid in the translucent ending of the art, giving it a deeper view. I do not notice if time or motion is evident because to me I believe that each line, each shape was placed a specific way to capture the beauty as a whole. I think that the use of real light is present, yet the brightness of the colors could illuminate by themselves. This
