The one drop of water from the tap tells us that there he may have low water supply due to his possible poverty which can be seen from the fact that he only has spices and no other food. His room is also quite dark and the only light is from outside.

in this picture, the elements of art is that there is colour scheme and texture. we can see that outside, at the corner, where the light is streaming in, there is a sudden bright colour which contrast with the main picture’s cool colours. in the background, near the sink, there are coffee makers and kettles which has “smoke” which is a type of texture to give effect to the realism of the drawing.

This artwork is about the introverted and lonely. The man is without companions, and the cool blue in the background seems to show the emptiness of his heart, yet there is some bright yellow at the top right background, which may be a sign that there is still some glimmer of hope that he can come out of his loneliness, longing for company, and that he is not yet too far gone into depression

I feel sad when I view the artwork because it depicts a sad or lonely atmosphere. The kitchen is dark and messy and cool colours are used to paint the kitchen. This gives me the impression of sadness. The man’s eyes are also distorted which tells me he might be crying.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel a slight sense of calm in the picture. As seen in the picture, the man is closing his eyes, listening to the music as he is casually chopping his herbs and spices. This is further illustrated but the calm colors and is analogous feel that gives it a sense of calm and tranquility. Although the kitchen is messy, there is a slight sense of “homey” feel when looking at the image, as if its the day in the life of this man and his experiences.

The artwork is weird in the viewer’s perspective. Many aspects are distorted, including the teenager’s head which looks smaller than it should be. The sink full of dishes also feels very flat and does not match the other tables it is connected to, when viewed from the viewer’s perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
This artwork is about a man in tranquility. He is displayed holding a cleaver and spices, listening to music. In front of him is a pastel and mortar. The contrasting colors emphasise how he is out of place from the environment which makes him seem lonely. The bright light illuminating from the background suggests that the room is very dim. The dimness portrays a sense of obscureness.

i feel that it is a masterpiece, at showing very realistic features on him, he is also well proportional. he seems sad and tired, he also looks poor due to the poor quality of his clothes. he also does not have proper hygiene as there are still leftover crumbs.

I like the artwork as it is distorted but still very detailed and clear

The artwork is about loneliness because of the use of cool colors around him to emphasize the feeling of being alone and depressed.
However the colors used to draw the man are warm colors and could represent his personality.
The artwork is about a man who is alone working in a kitchen for a cafe(this can be seen by the tables and chairs on the outside of the window) The messy kitchen with dishes scattered suggests that he is very busy and is unable to clean the dishes.
The cafe may also have been a popular one due to the large quantity of the dishes left in the sink

The artwork is about a chef or a person who is sad. This is because the kitchen is very messy and his glasses is distorted. This suggests that he might be crying or tearing up and since his kitchen is messy, his business might be bad or he might be very poor.

# data[].attributes.body
The cool colour make us feel that the man is lonely and the atmosphere is pretty quiet. The messily placed utensils in the middle ground and the unwashed bowls and plates suggests the there is no one else to help him wash the dishes. The hand placed on the knife instead of the handle may imply the he has thoughts of suicide or other dark thoughts due to severe loneliness or a bad self image. (Especially with his long necc and flat face XD)

# data[].attributes.body
There is a high contrast between the blue kitchen and yellow sunny outside implies that he feels he is the only one being moody/gloomy. Blue brings about a solemn mood but outside was bright and sunny showing a jolly mood. The shade of blue were on a darker side as if he is lost deep in his thoughts and emotions. In the kitchen, there are several hints of red, blue highly contrast with red. Shows that his emotions and thought are very different from what others are feeling about the situation.

The main emphasis of this Artwork can be seen ion the Center of the Artwork. It shows a middle-aged bearded man making a dish.

In the background, it shows that the Artist wanted to portray a cold and empty setting, with the use of cool colours.

We also can see the strong relationship between hot and cold depicted in the background of the artwork, and the subject. This actually hints that the background of the shop is empty, meaning no customers. Chilli is also painted red to signify spice, energy, warmth. But other than that, the shop seems cold and empty with cool colours.

The artwork is about desolation and loneliness that the people face in modern era. This can be seen with the asnalgolous coloring scheme, giving off a quiet and lonely feel. It is also further illustrated by the sad depressed look on the man face and the fact that he is slouching.

In this artwork, it is clear that the main emphasis is the man found in the middle of the artwork. The warm colour found in the middle ground stand out in the background of the cool colour kitchen. The kitchen background shows a symmetrical image of the kitchen counters which is filled with piles and piles of kitchenware in monochromatic colour. There is a ray of light seeping from the outside world. Outside of the kitchen, we can see that there are tables and chairs. It symbolises interaction with people, however in this artwork we can see that this man is all alone in a very big kitchen giving a sad vibe.

The artwork could be portraying the introverterd nature of people in this generation. This teenage man listening to music suggests this is his comfort place and source of entertainment. He looks calm and feels at home while alone.

The artist used many strokes to create the images in the artwork. The brown colour of the man’s jacket contrasts to the blue utensils and background, making the man the center of attention. The dark colours in the background make us feel that the man is lonely. This can also be inferred from the earphones that he is using to listen to music as they may be no one else around.

The man who is chopping spices is drawn big and placed in the center to attract viewers attention to that subject.
The pestle and mortar as well as the spices and condiments on the table are drawn smaller but still seeable has given a bit more background informations as to what the man is doing or where he is.
Lastly the drawing shows a messy kitchen by showing unwashed dishes in the sink and random placements of kitchen ware scattered around the kitchen counters

The many bowls, plates, bottles and other equipments in the middle ground show that the location is probably in the kitchen. The dining area in the background also tells me that the man is at home. The utensils are placed on both sides of the kitchen making the artwork balanced. The many spices shown at where the man is working suggests that he is preparing to make a paste with the pastel and mortar.
