Beautiful Ideas #1

=Aegis-Strife:iconAegis-Strife: reports, October 8, 2006
Welcome to this Article. My goal is to show you all some great works from people around deviantArt who have developed thoughfull works but also the result has been aesthetically pleasant.

Sometimes, a good work of art is not just "good" because of its aesthetical sense. Sometimes we need something else. And here concepts, ideas and thoughs enter to the game. We need to give some food to our brains, don't we? A work that can make you think until you discover its real meaning (or you find your own) is indeed a better way of representation in this chaotic and ever-evolving world of art.

Concepts in art are not anything new. Since the first realistic paintings, painters always tried to put a clear concept to make their work understandable to a concrete kind of people. For example, religious paintings since Paleochristians always had a serial of icons that made the people of that period understand and get the story behind the pieces.

Nowadays, art is more diverse, and concepts are harder to understand. The minds of the artists now live in a modern era, and changes happen.

Many artistic theories have related the use of concepts as being even more important than the work itself. That is, the way the artists represent the idea that is in his/her mind, and how easy or hard for people is to understand it.

I will try to show you some selections from some artists of deviantArt which have developed the sense of conceptual-works until unknown limits.

DIGITAL ART



TRADITIONAL ART



PHOTOGRAPHY




Now, let's see if what I have said at the beginning of this article, applies to these images.

You see theem, they are beautiful, aren't they? Now click on them and read the title. They've became more interesting! The clever way artists sometimes represent their own ideas is amazing. Sometimes you could never imagine!

Sometimes artists explain by themselves what they were trying to show us. Sometimes, the description space is blank for us to think. And, sometimes, it's better to find the idea by ourselves.

I hope you have liked this feature. I will try to feature more artists and clever deviations in the future, if you have any suggestions, please note me!
