Do you remember what you dream? I do, because lately my dreams look like very much to action films worthy of j. j.. Abrams, don't tell you what a waste of resources in special effects.
When dream, usually, I can edge sidewise away from unpleasant situations, thanks to skillful shots of the brain that I magically deposited by the victim as spectator… is probably the only reason I'm still sane seen my dreams.
However, there is someone who can live in World of dreams even while awake, and mind you I'm not talking of stunned people that never know where they are, I'm speaking of artists they can transmit the soft atmosphere of dreams in their works as Michael Parkes.
Looking at his work I feel relaxed and wrapped in calm how in the world of dreams, furthermore, his subjects lend themselves perfectly to this subtle interplay between reality and fiction.
I was particularly fascinated by the work of the Travelling Circus, for the soft colors and sense of calm and peace that transmit characters who undertake the journey to their new destination.
Normally the travel concept see many issues that plague man, as fear of the unknown and new, the lack of security or simply the fear of having to change to something that you do not know.
In this work, the representation of change It is experienced by travelers like the inevitable passing of time and life, at the same time the viewer experiences this change as research towards something that does not know but it is necessary to discover.
It is a snapshot taken by fairytale and romantic that capture the exact moment of change not the destination or the starting point, but the journey.
The elements that are represented by artist are different for both inspiration and subject, from mythology to history to religion, to be convinced just look at the thousand heroines represented as the classic Joan of Arc, represented as the best leaders that history has given us.
This figure is impressive in its simplicity is a conscious and confident on heroin horse necked proud and mighty.
Not surprisingly, women represented are sculptural, plastic beauties with angelic wings in attitudes which express a refined typical security and the world of dance as the fictional of modern pin-up.
In addition, the animals seem to have a prominent role in the production of Parkes from the splendid swans from the neck bent to the proud felines that support and accompany women portrayed. So mythology and inspiration religious, man and nature, sacred and profane can live together peacefully in dreams or more easily in Michael Parkes.
