Red Eiffel: Under the Tower (3)

Thanks for any critique.

Christian's fascinating point of view and proper use of focal length has brought about a very fascinating abstraction of Eiffel Tower like of which few may have observed so adroitly and with open eyes.

 

The image is a symmetrical composition in the vertical axis , but asymmetrical in the horizontal. The elegant curved lines are in a good contrast with the straight diamond shape which displays straight line arranged in the diagonals. The mood invoked is that of balance violated by the energetic presence of diagonals, but when we view it from a distance mentally and sum up the counterforces, we get dazzled by a powerful, stark stability. It 's as if it is computer generated through billions of formulas and instructions in what is called as wisdom regime of the artist who limits the presence of aestheticism and takes away the emotional content to play with our eyes, and to defy our visual experience stored somewhere in the data bank of shapes and configurations.

 

The vertical frame has nicely emphasized the sheer downward movement.

 

the monochromatism ( red and only red) has restricted our vision to the point that we depart from the math and scientificality of the visual elements on the surface and get curios enough to doubt our initial hasty response to figure out what we are watching.

It completely slipped my mind to ask you a favor. I am sure you know quite well that abstraction possesses a unique value. It awaken our human sense of survival, psychologically speaking. We need to input the data we receive from our eyes to 'perceive', distinguish, and eventually interprete to survive. The sense has been triggered in us in early childhood and keeps staying with us to our death. A brain which can't interprete the incoming visual as well as other data is doomed to demise. What I am saying is that Eifle tower from an ordinary point of view is what we instantly identify, but your unique point of view has created a novel visual experience that the viewer nevertheless sees as a controversial issue to deal with. This is called involvement in the explicitness and implicitness of any image. Your title robs the viewer the chance of a personal interpretation and ruins the chance of involvement.
