Art is the impression of the work done by humans, it is the expression of the inner thoughts, emotions, intuitions, desires, and the experiences and perceptions of the person. The artwork of the other person can never be analyzed fully and one cannot give a sweeping statement about what the artist wanted to represent in his work.Through the use of art, one communicates to the rest of the world and can speak his mind. The piece of art that I am going to discuss is the one that I came across some time ago, and I was so much inspired by the creativity of the artist. I have always been a nature lover and to see greenery is a feast for my eyes. The artist made the use of his creativity and through the use of papers, he created a beautiful piece of art. I could see the pots and the plants and they were all made up of chart paper. However, the beauty that they were representing was flawless and at first glance, one could not tell that it was all artificial. I think this is the mastery of the artist that he wanted to imitate the beauty of nature and was successful in that. Not only was this but the arrangement of the pots in the form of a bed just perfect. The plants were the imitation of the real ones and the leaves and the color of them was just so eye-catching. He kept everything so close to the natural but the stuff he used for creating it was so unnatural. This combination of the natural and the fake was done quite beautifully and was creating a mesmerizing look. I must say that the color scheme that the artist chose was just on point, and on top of that, the arrangement was done so artistically too. There were two tables on the sides and were lower in height, and there was a table in the center that was of the standard height of the tables. Underneath the table in the center, there was an array of pots that were placed on the top of the sheet on the floor. It was the portrayal of plants selling the shop. There was a cardboard shopkeeper too. He was standing behind the central table. All the arrangement was so neat and was giving a tidy look. For the background wall, there was again the use of the papers. Small symmetrical pieces of pink color paper were pasted on the background wall. The overall look of this artificial shop was so tidy and colorful but not overwhelming. There are no certain criteria for measuring the beauty, however, the beauty of the art can be felt at heart. It's the human need to get some time out of their stressful lives to enjoy the beauty and to appreciate the beautiful things. With the advent of technology, humans are getting more and more stressful too, they need to do the things that give them joy and real peace at heart. As Andy Warhol said because people are going to be living longer and getting older, they’ll just have to learn how to be babies longer. Being baby is to do the things that are the basic ones and without any fear or the restrictions, you do them. Andy is right in saying that we humans are going to live longer as the technology in the medical field has increased the life span of the people and the point that she has made here is that the longer, life will give people longer old age so they must learn to increase the span of the childhood too. That actually means that the inner child of a person must never be strangled. To play with the color is usually the best hobby of the children. In the artwork, the use of the color depicts the aesthetic sense of the artist.

Another piece of art that I came across was the continuation of the same artwork. Again, it was all the use of paper to create the artwork. The artist brought his creativity and the fashion sense out and was visible in the pieces of paper joined together keeping the color scheme and the bigger picture in mind. There was a rectangular kind of sheet hanging on walls and was all covered with the small square pieces of papers of different colors. The look of it was similar to that of a rug. This was because of the fact that the colors were used in a calculated manner. Though apparently, they were randomly used still the scheme of the colors gave a sophisticated look and it seemed like there was a pattern that was being followed. There were mostly the dark colors used in it but some little patches inside were of the vibrant and the light emitting colors. Two other such sheets were placed on the wall and alongside them was a carton sheet Waitress taking orders. The sketch of the waitress and the table in front of her was drawn on the carton sheet. One more waiter could be seen there made of carton sheet, carrying the tray. Also, there were two caution signs placed there on the floor stating the floor is wet. This whole picture presenting the scene of a café where the wet floor caution signs were placed and a waitress was taking orders, and one was carrying the tray. In front of all this, there was placed some creature or God knows what that thing was. Nonetheless, it was portraying all the different colors and alongside that, there was placed a trash-can. This is the most significant thing that the artist was portraying. The artist used the things that are thrown in the trash to create beautiful pieces of art.

There was a hidden message in this piece of art and that was to recycle the material we think of as trash. The artist made use of the recyclable things that is Carton sheets and the papers, to create the whole scene of the café and the plants' shops. Carton sheets are usually not used the way the artist used and it reflects the creativity of him. The artist took the actual waste and turned it into the masterpiece that as presented at the gallery. The placement of the trash can alongside show that the waste that we throw can be turned into beautiful things, only if we pay a little attention towards it. It is a good activity to relax your mind to recycle things and turn them into beautiful new things that are both valuable and cheap in terms of cost. The artist purposefully used the cheerful colors. It is the sign of joy and happiness and also is refreshing for the brain and pleasant for eyes. The spectators are taken into the enchanting world of colors where everything is clear neat and pleasant too, and besides that, the message is transferred unconsciously to them.

My experience as the gallery was so good and this art mastery made my day. I feel it’s good for people to arrange such things where people can show creativity and others can seek joy by watching their artwork. Art is a technique of clutching the world. Not just the bodily world, which is what science endeavors to do; rather the entire world, and precisely, the social world, the world of culture and mystical understanding. Every artist creates his own style through which he communicates with the people and puts his brain out. It shows his creativity and what goes on in his mind. The psychological impressions of his mental state are to be found in the work that he creates. As in the present case, the artist is using cheerful colors and presents a picture of the world that is taken from everyday life. This shows that the artist wants to spread a positive message and, in his mind, he is having a joyous picture of the world where people use the recyclable things to find their own happiness. In the intense and the fast world today, we have somewhat lost the essence of real joy. We need to find our interests and look for happiness in them. Art I must say is one of the best sources to release what cooks inside you. The everyday tensions need to vent out, if not they tend to grow up inside our minds and come out with an explosion.

This piece of art was absolutely a really good manifestation of the work of artistry and that of creativity. The way artist used the carton sheets and the chart papers to create the beautiful things is superb and the message at the background was also what the need of the hour is. With inflation, the prices are rising and the people need to recycle the things to save the resources as well as to lessen the burden on their pockets. Overall it was a pleasant experience at the gallery.
