Venetian Water Colors

Art is not just found hanging on the walls of La Serenissima, the city of water. The liquid canvases of Venetian canals offer a panoply of art styles to the everyday observer. The combination of boat traffic, current, and breeze dissipates a realistic rendering of the city’s colors, forms, and lines into disjointed elements that transform into eye-popping examples of every possible art style, including Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract Art. The colors are rhythmically boosted by the undulations of the water. On the canals, reality and imagination exist side by side as the pastiche of colors and forms repeatedly mesh, dissipate and regenerate.
