RRAW: "Hand Paintings" - Guido Daniele (critique)




"Hand Paintings"

 
Looking at the different hand paintings that were painted by Guido Daniele it brings back childhood memories. Each photo consist a hand or a numerous amount of hands that are painted upon to create an illusion of an animal. The one that I found the most interesting is the eagle and the dear that he created. I was interested in the eagle because when you look at the way he placed his hands it reminds me of when I was little I used to always play with my shadows against the wall. I would place my hands in certain positions in order to create an animal out of my shadow. The reason why his work reminds me of that childhood memory is because when he created the eagle piece he has his hands in the same position that I would place my hands in order to create a bird through my shadow. As I continue to take in the paintings on his hands I begin to think that he probably did the same what I did when he was young as well, which was create hand shadows to create animals. I believe that his work is creative because it seems to take a childhood memory and make it realistic in a way by painting the image of the animal on the hands instead of just a silhouette formed by a shadow.
