[QUOTE="GaleriaGila, post: 116414, member: 993"]Innnnnteresting! Painting A is powerful... expanding outwards... pushing limits at the expense of the land and culture... kind of an industrial revolution taking over the countryside. It could be anywhere in the world, but it gives me an eastern European east or northwards vibe. It makes me feel like singing the Volga Boat Song... the YO-HEAVE-HO one. I enjoy urban blight and industrial devastation depictions. They can be rendered such that they are so ugly that they are beautiful... to me. I might actually buy this one and give it to somebody who has a fabulous loft downtown. Painting B. Same theme, but less courageously done. Ugly pollution rendered not-so-much beautiful as boring. Different artist, I betcha. I would pass it up. I wouldn't hang them together... painting A would beat painting B up, all day long. Painting A is a bully, a big dirty, overbearing industrial bully... painting B is a washed out version. I think that's the meanest thing I have said YET about a painting. Painting A made me say it! Another good pair, Brad![/QUOTE]
