Reflections in water

While I was doing my research on water reflection, I found 2 fantastic artist who have venture into this interesting way of seeing. Both Canadian painter of “magic realism” Rob Gonsalves and Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher has created great optical illusion painting.



Below are print work by M.C. Escher. He explored on reflections in water which leads the audience to view the realistic world through a reflected surface.




M.C. Escher has also done a lot of experiments and artworks on symmetrical format.

I am interested in creating image symmetrically. Placing symmetrical objects among asymmetrical objects create a harmonious composition.

Water Project : Book of Reflection

Project: Water

Project Title: Book of reflection

Abstract: The word “reflection” has different meaning. It can be the illusion of an image produced by mirror or water, and it also mean self-examination.

Notion: The notion of this small pictorial book is through a series of drawing related to water, reflection and our daily-life, remind the readers/audiences to reflect the relationship between water and our daily-life.

My creation is to separate the book into two parts, top and bottom. The top part shows the subject and the bottom part shows the reflection. The visual shows a combination of the real subject and the reflection, which form a “dualistic” yet “united” world.

But when the surface of water is covered with rubbish, the beautiful reflection vanish. The world being torned apart.
