Compare And Contrast Birth Of A Galaxy And Silent Seven
There are many similarities between Birth of a galaxy and Silent Seven. In Birth of a galaxy, it uses geometric shapes. The planets/celestial bodies are created with the usage of geometric circles. In Silent Seven, it uses spheres to create the planets. Both art works illustrate space themed objects. They depict planets, stars, and or the earth. Each of them has similar colour properties. Birth of a galaxy uses a lot of blue and yellow to make the planets and empty space, and Silent Seven uses blue for the water and planets, and yellow for the sky. Finally, they use minification and magnification in the same way. The planets in both the art works are small in proportion to the general piece. The Earth-like planets are smaller than trees in
Silent Seven, in the same way the yellow planets/stars are miniscule compared to the large mass in the middle. Although there are many similarities between the two, there are also many differences. For instance, the planets/stars in Birth of a galaxy are 2-dimensional. Meanwhile, the planets in Silent Seven are spherical (3-dimensional). The Silent Seven does not have a single focus point: there is balance between the objects, and there are no high contrasting colours. Yet, in Birth of a galaxy, the focus is directed towards the black object in the middle. At last, the forms of media are different. Silent Seven was created digitally but Birth of a galaxy was produced using oil paints and a canvas.
Overall, I feel like Silent Seven was more successful in creating a surrealistic art piece. Galaxies are not as circular and organized in real life as they are in Birth of a galaxy. The planets and stars are not that close and there is not an out of place blob of colours under any galaxy near us. However, the amount of unrealistic images in Silent Seven overpowers the amount in Birth of a galaxy. In Silent Seven, there are seven planets, but they are miniscule. The planets are floating on a sea of water, and are metallic. The planets are smaller than the tree in the background, and there is an out of place hoop around the tree. Even the tree and the hoop are metallic. Nonetheless, although both express surrealism, I believe Silent Seven expresses surrealism more effectively.
