Off the canvas


We often hear the saying "the painting comes alive" and in this case it's literal. Artist Gregory Euclide has created an installation, which flows out of a painting on the wall, merging nature with art. He used a variety of material, from foam, fern and acrylic to create the piece called "Held Within What Hung Open and Made to Lie Without Escape."

  1. I do not know what to write. It is beautiful. How long did it take? I think that the river is the most beautiful.

  10. Hi again, actual, after writing you, today I read something very much related: it is called capture the moment, in the sense of shocking the attention, but of course, we all stare at life most of the day. That is why some distinguish among the ones staring, and the ones creating. Then I realized that I wanted to be the second kind. You already are, trying to reach you, I noticed someone copies the idea of yours with commercial purposes.
    Staring is something I can not help though, nothing bad. I feel like a sponge, like the kids. Some do it on music, others read, I look at images.
