A Professional Presentation of Artwork
A professional presentation of objects on solids or simple surfaces that have a specific aesthetic function is referred to as artwork. Each piece of art has a connection to the genre, artistic tradition, or regional to national differences. This study project compares Peter Doig's sky jacket to Ellison's exhibit.
Artists and the Outdoors
Both artists use the outdoors in their works. According to Ellison, the city's main contacts are with the weather's fundamental components—wind, sun, and rain. Cities and weather are interconnected. The town is shaped by the weather, which in turn shapes the weather patterns. Similarly, Peter Doig borrows a lot from the natural environment. Doig, the artist of the ski jacket, based his work on learner skiers on a mountain in Japan. Dark green pine trees are painted at the center of the work, while in the foreground, a variety of trees are decorated in light green.
Environmental Conservation
The two artists drew attention to environmental conservation. Eliasson's elegant installation had the fundamental principle of taking care of the world around us. The artist emphasized that our thoughts, just like the weather, keep on changing. The variations in the weather project rhyme with the unpredictability of the elements of weather, which in turn shows the impact of man in sabotaging the environment. Doig used white paint in horizontal streaks to represent the snow-covered landscape. The artwork shows the importance of conserving the environment because it offers recreational services like skiing.
Differences in Styles
The artists differ in their style. Doig used a big painting in diptych style. Both parts are of the same height but different breadth. They are joined at the core of the image, with the left side bigger than the right side. Both parts reflect each other indirectly around the central axis made by the joint. Unlike Doig, Eliasson concentrated on the reception of art in the museum. He decided to create an exhibition in which the visitors of the museum can experience the weather outside the building. Eliasson's work harnesses the fleeting aspects of the world which bring about spiritual and emotional impacts to nature within the Italian tradition. Hence, the styles are different.
Effects on the Viewer
The two artworks differ in the effects they create on the viewer. Although both methods receive perception through sight, the weather project gives an opportunity to the viewer to walk around the project and experience the reflected sunlight. It also permits the viewer to observe. This experience cannot be realized by the sky jacket project because it is just a painting which cannot alter its surrounding apart from beautifying it. The viewer of the two projects doesn't experience the same impression.
Mode of Functioning
Both artworks also differ in their mode of functioning. The weather project mechanically operates. It is composed of machines that distribute the mist, together with a sub-structure and electrical wiring system. The whole project filters the internal climate, adjusting it and modifying it so that the inhabitant is accustomed to the climate in the city. The window acts like the boundary that harmonizes one's experience with the weather outside the building. The sky project, on the other hand, creates a mountainous environment that cannot change with the current climatic condition. The two projects operate differently.
Conclusion
In conclusion, both projects blend with nature and raise concern for its conservation but differ in artistic style, mode of functioning, and the impact they create on the viewer.
