Earth energy makes use of bold brushstrokes to create the image that everything is gathering towards the center.  However, at the same time the center of the painting is also a  crowded line of shapes, diffusing the feeling that the artwork was narrowing down to a single point and ending there. the shapes seemingly placed by random helped to create the illusion of roundness and fullness giving the artwork the feeling of a never-ending vortex. This creates the mirage of a cycle which correlates to energy. The artwork uses a lot of brown, with the artwork darkening to the center. The shades of brown help to bring to mind earth whilst subtly bringing attention to the middle of the artwork.

The strokes of the painting are oblique and asymmetrical, forming an array of irregular shapes and patterns. They represent the inhabitants of Earth and what they have made of it, a disorganised society with scarce havens of nature remaining amongst a world where humans are its dominating population. It looks like a modern city with tall skyscrapers and shoddy slums, cramped and overcrowded with people from all walks of life. The colours used are dull and brindled, perhaps a reference to the earth itself, the soil beneath our feet. The muted tone of the artwork seems to convey a certain melancholy of the state Earth has been reduced to, going from a planet overflowing with life to a place overrun with the aftermath of urbanisation and modernisation. Truly, “Earth Energy”.

Moreover, the colours were well-blended in each other, making the painting look appealing to the eye.

# data[].attributes.body
Earth energy is an unique piece of art in my opinion.When you stare at it from afar,I think there is actually around 6 dark blurred lines meeting around the centre that  cuts the painting into triangle-like shapes and gives the painting a one point perspective.I think the reason why this painting is very pleasing to the eye is the great use of contrasting colours and uneven sizes of wood that gives it a grainy texture.The contrasting colours are of course the complementary colours he used in this painting like the blue and orange,purple and amber.He also made uses of triadic colours which is just orange,purple and blue.There is also a very subtle lighting source producing shadows on the painting.The radial shapes that are placed asymmetrically give the painting a sense of off-balance while also contrasting against the squarish shapes.Finally,the colours on the edges of the painting are blurred and a bit faded,along with the highly saturated red around the centre to give the focus of the painting to the middle of the painting.

# data[].attributes.body
There are different smooth thick lines. Each stroke is choppy. The overall colour of the painting is dark, but there is a hint of radiant and vivid colours as well.

# data[].attributes.body
The artist uses a black contrasting background to compliment the pastel confident brushstrokes he made on the painting. The bold lines in this artwork are drawn with confident brushstrokes. The pastel green, yellow and blue in this artwork are well-blended. The texture of this artwork is smooth and silky. The space in the background and in the artwork is organised in a flowing manner.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the brushstroke is choppy, and is full of different colors that make it wild? The shape and form are geometric with a rough texture which gives me an unpleasant feeling, due to the overwhelming amount of shapes and colors and uneven shapes. However it is still a great artwork that includes a lot of minor details in it.

# data[].attributes.body
The strokes are very bold and stand out from the background even though they are of the same colour. The strokes also look like the movements of a mop, probably from the artist getting inspiration from her job.

At first look, the painting seems quite dull, but when you look closely, there are a variety of colours beneath the pool of black. Although the colours are not lively, it sort of stands out from the black. The strokes seemed to be freely drawn, although the strokes were straighter at the bottom and more curved at the top

# data[].attributes.body
The colours used are a mixture of bright and vibrant ones. It makes the painting look very lively. Many different geometrical shapes like squares and rectangles can be seen. Irregular shapes can also be seen. It is hard to understand what the abstract art is trying to is trying to show just by looking

The artwork had confident and harsh brushstrokes with some lines curved and others straight to show the different motions used when mopping. The brushstrokes were also not blended in to the smooth background behind it to show contrast and make the movements of the mop standout, so even when the strokes and background are of the same colour, the brushstrokes still standouts.

# data[].attributes.body
The bright and radiant colours make the artwork appealing towards the eye. The lines are smooth and the brushstrokes look clean. The grey background makes the vibrant colours stand out more. This art work to me is about standing out instead of fitting in as the colours contrast against the background, and the focus of the artwork itself is away in one corner instead of being in the centre.

Earth energy is an interesting piece of art, in a sense that the few bold and dark lines draw my eyes towards the center. The use of contrasting colours and irregular wood gives it a grainy texture. The numerous little radial shapes along  with the few larger rounded shapes are spread all over, which also contrasts with the squares. The colours at the edge of the painting also seem to be faded and subtle that gives off a calm feeling.

The artwork contains bold and confident brushstrokes made with mostly monochromatic shades of brown and other dark colors. The tone of this artwork is subtle and I get an earthly and ancient feel from it. It looks as if something is rising from the middle of the artwork itself which draws my eyes to the middle. The texture looks rough and it gives me a feeling of different things put together but still manages to fit perfectly.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this painting has confident brushstrokes as the picture is painted big and clear, with some parts having subtle tone to make the flower blend in with the black background, making this painting abstracted. This makes the texture feel light and smooth. This painting also radiates a flowing movement, where the flower is situated at the left side, slowly ‘moving’ to the right.

# data[].attributes.body
The painting is formed with bold, choppy strokes of colour. It looks very dark at first, but upon inspection, i realised that the artist has blended strokes of dark colours such as black and grey, with much brighter colours, such as red, green and blue.
