Roark's Sutdio Gallery - Coolsville
From Roark’s Studio Gallery located in Laguna Beach, there was something very unique and different about the artwork there. They were distinct type of two-dimensional contemporary artwork and I noticed that most of his works were done in plastic.
The room was filled with intense, colorful images of people, animals especially zebras, repeated patterns, and objects such as shoes, hearts, and martini’s. Roark placed melted plastic sculptures as the main subject pasted on large canvases. The thick, colorful splashes of paint and exuberant patterns that were used in the background and on top of the sculptures caught my attention the most.
I enjoyed seeing the eye-catching cartoon characters and graphic images. These figures were bubbly and looked almost edible. On the contrary, I would have liked to see less complexity in colors and the placement of the artwork. I think that if the colors were simpler and included fewer images in one, it would look sophisticated. It was, however, pleasant to get a taste of creative art involving melted plastics.
