My trip to the LA Art Show this past Saturday was an amazing experience. I have never been before, and I was blown away by the amount of art being displayed. With over 100 different galleries, all ranging in medium, no one piece was the same. There were some pieces that left me stunned, while others had no effect on me. It was amazing to see so much art. It has always been a huge inspiration for me as an artist, to see other artists work. One of my favorite pieces was of a skull, and a woman in front wearing a sergical mask and long nails. At first, the piece seemed strange to me, but as I read more on what it represented I was amazed. It described that in ancient times the skull was actually a reminder to live everyday to the fullest, though in our society today we associate it with death. The surgical mask, represented that today we have become obsessed with changing our outer appearance. We search for beauty rather than living each day to the fullest. This was a piece that stuck with me throughout the show. Overall there were many pieces of art I came to love, and I will be attending for many future years.
