Lam Truong Art Project Reflection

Lam Truong recreated the artwork "High Heels Abstraction Dripping" by Pierre Kenal Luois. The first thing that stands out in the paintings is the shoes are melting. I would never think of painting a pair of shoes that are melting. The way the shoes are designed and drawn are funky and makes me turn me head sideways. Also the fact that the shoe is melting caught my attention and made me think why the artist was trying to say when making this artwork. When I look at the artwork it makes me think cocky, wealthy, and self-centered. Wealth Melts would be what I would name the artwork. Lam used yellow as the background, Blue as the show color, and Orange as the legs. I think the blue means that the person is sad because the persons wealth is melting. I think the shoes represent wealth. I know his family owns a shoe factory and it reminds him of his family who is not which him because he is an international student and his family is in a different country. I really like to message he was trying to send when he painted this painting. It shows happiness in the midst of despair. What I'm trying to say is that he misses his family so drawing this painting made him happy because it reminded him of them.
