George Rush : Darker with the Day :Describe the artwork

    The name of the exhibition was "Darker with the Day" by artist George Rush. The work was created with acrylic paint on canvas. The series was made with lots of black, whit, and grey tones with very sharp lines and shadows. The subject of the series is basically showing a table, with simple, every day objects on it in front of a window. Three of the five pieces show the same table in front of the window and the outside seems to be getting darker. The shades of the outside change. The other two pieces are a window that gives a "looking in" perspective, where through the window is dark and a window that gives a "looking outside" perspective, as though the viewer is looking outside of the window. Some of the viewers were not quite attracted to the theme of the series. The darker tones seemed to give off a "depressing" look and feel.
