God
the Creator and Mother Earth Joint Project:
Obscure Tropical Paradise #121
I have long been a fan of the great joint project between God the
Creator and Mother Earth. Recently, I had a chance to see their
found art installation entitled, “Obscure Tropical
Paradise #121.” The landscaping was amazing, as was
their touch of adding just enough jungle land to support a small
village. But by adding three different harbors, God really out did
himself, as did Mother Earth by adding her patented finishing touches.
Like how a guy’s home will always look like a bachelor’s
pad until it finally gets a women’s touch. From caves acting
as water shoots to several perches to watch the multimedia daily
finale, “Sunset in a Thousand Colors, Pacific Ocean Series,”
the overall presentation is awe-inspiring. But let us take a look
at several pieces more intently within the whole installation.
“Face Rock, Obscure Tropical Paradise #121”
- God put the rock there, but Mother Nature gets full credit
for this one. By using a slow hand over thousands of years, she
has achieved a masterpiece. Visages emerge and disappear on the
rock depending on the time of day, and it is even possible to tell
time by who is staring at you. But the stroke of genius is that
at night, the moon lights the faces in a silvery glow, sometimes
even giving the impression of eyes.
“Beach View 2, Obscure Tropical Paradise #121” - Words
always escape me when I see their large format pieces. Bylining
the powdery white sand with a deep blue pool of a harbor beach,
they are able to bring out the contrast in colors of the sea, the
jungle, and the mountains against a deep blue-sky background. This
is a time capsule reminder from them, that in a simpler time, man
would have been contented to stay here forever. It is hard not to
take them up on that offer even today.
“Poseidon with Crown, Obscure Tropical Paradise #121”
- While some say a tribute to a Greek god is out of place in Mexico,
we must remember the grand scale God and Mother Nature think on.
Your English tea is no more out of place to you, than this is to
them. I really enjoyed the use of abstract form to achieve the theme,
and the framing against the open sea really brings the piece together.
