Art Evokes Emotion
View allAll Photos Tagged evoke
Gray is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is dignified, conservative, and carries authority. Gray is controlled and inconspicuous and is considered a color of compromise, perhaps because it sits between the extremes of black and white. The human eye can distinguish about 500 shades of gray.

_______________________
Grey. It makes no statement whatever; it evokes neither feelings nor associations: it is really neither visible nor invisible. Its inconspicuousness gives it the capacity to mediate, to make visible, in a positively illusionistic way, like a photograph. It has the capacity that no other colour has, to make 'nothing' visible.
-- Gerhard Richter

The Sun Traveler is a sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason. It is a dream boat, an ode to the sun. It evokes a territory to discover, a dream of hope, progress and freedom. It is located in Saebraut, by the sea, in the center of Reykjavik.

Alicja Kwade: Entitas
"The work of Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade repeatedly explores a transferral of scientific questioning into artistic concepts. Her exhibition ENTITAS offers poetic, intuitively comprehensible responses to the conundrum of what transpires in the invisible plenums of knowledge; what is it that happens between two blinks of an eye, between two glances?
Kwade’s exhibition title ENTITAS (Latin: entity) alludes to enquiries about the essence of things: what is the world made of? And further even: what information is available for us to attempt an answer to this question?
Extending into the space of the room, the installation “Die bewegte Leere des Moments” [The Moving Emptiness of the Moment] is central to the exhibition. It was created for Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt in 2015 and consists of two objects—a colossal stone and a copper station clock—that orbit above the heads of the visitors; motion is rendered perceptible as a draft. Enhanced by loudspeakers, both the ticking of the clock and the sound of the stone cutting through the air are audible. Time is passing. The composition as a whole evokes the basic functions of human existence: heartbeat and breathing. In that way the objects, their protons and electrons, revolve around an ever elusive center, indicating the very interspace that appears to us as emptiness." www.koeniggalerie.com/exhibitions/15194/entitas/

Stourhead is a 2,650-acre estate at the source of the River Stour in the southwest of Wiltshire, extending into Somerset.
The gardens were laid out between 1741 and 1780 in a classical 18th-century design set around a large lake, achieved by damming a small stream so the lake is artificially created. Following a path around the lake is meant to evoke a journey similar to that of Aeneas's descent in to the underworld.
Lakeside features include the five-arched Palladian Bridge at the eastern extremity of the lake
a picture evokes anything near that word, 'mystery' :-)

La frase "la flor y la mariposa" evoca frecuentemente una famosa fábula sobre la paciencia y la confianza en Dios, donde un hombre recibe un cactus y una oruga en lugar de lo pedido, descubriendo luego que la oruga se convierte en mariposa y el cactus da una bella flor, enseñando que lo que necesitas supera lo que deseas.

The phrase "the flower and the butterfly" often evokes a famous fable about patience and trust in God, where a man receives a cactus and a caterpillar instead of what he asked for, later discovering that the caterpillar becomes a butterfly and the cactus produces a beautiful flower, teaching that what you need exceeds what you desire.
Trying a new technique for Macro Monday theme - The Blues. I'm hoping this image evokes an emotion of feeling blue.
Interested in how this is received, Its different from my usual stuff. Not much color but think it evokes coldness! I hate winter!

Another study in color grading.
I took this RAW shot 5 years ago and it is technically all wrong. I clearly remember the day since it was one of my first outings with my new Sony camera. Randi with her sharp eye pointed out the interesting patterns on the sand dunes in Malibu and I took this and a few similar shots. I clearly used the wrong aperture, the focus is off and framing is haphazard.
I have come back to this photo a few times over the years, intrigued by the shadows in the sand but not knowing what to do.
Recently, as I am learning more about color theory and color grading techniques, I have taken a swipe at editing this photo in a complementary color scheme. While the raw file is totally lacking color, with typical SoCal grayish sand, ocean and sky, this edit is specifically focused on complimentary orange and blue hues, evoking African sand dunes by the Indian Ocean.
Thank you very much for your views, kind comments and faves.

This photo of the barn against a moody sky surrounded by cold and snow evoked memories of the past winter, how long it was and how cold it was. Now we have spring, well, at least on some days! Although most days are still quite chilly
Thanks in advance for taking time to look at my photos.

I hope this image evokes a feeling of tranquility and peace. The warm colors of the sunset contrasting with the cool blues of the water and sky create a sense of balance and harmony. The silhouette of the bridge against the vibrant sky adds a touch of mystery and intrigue.
A quiet moment from 1988, captured in the heart of Abruzzo. This shot, framed by the arches of an ancient cloister, draws the eye to a medieval tower standing proud against the mountains. The interplay of shadows and stone evokes a timeless elegance — a perfect blend of Romanesque geometry and Italian soul.
Originally shot on black and white film, this image holds the soft grain and deep contrast of a different era. Preserved and digitized with love.

As I captured this image, it evoked a sense of tranquility, nostalgia, and reflection.
The soft, muted tones and the gentle curves of the dried leaves and grasses create a calming effect.
The focus on the details of the plant brings a sense of intimacy, as I was taking a moment to appreciate the often-overlooked beauty of nature.
The dried leaves to me symbolize the passage of time and the changing seasons, prompting reflection on the past and anticipation of the future.
A glimpse over Simsbury, Connecticut.
When I think too much about it, I feel photography is a painful obsession. An impression that is so fleeting caught, rendered and displayed for (hopefully) a very long time.
If the picture evokes something in you put it on the wall. Put it as a backdrop if you must. But on social media, does it linger in your mind for more than a few minutes?
Prompt: Golden sparkling tears shimmering in the sunlight, reflecting a myriad of colours, a stream of untold nostalgia flowing gently through a secret garden. Each drop of spring rain delicately landing on fallen pink petals, creating a symphony of nature's melancholy. Capture the essence of a dreamy, hazy atmosphere in a wet-on-wet watercolour painting. Use a limited colour palette inspired by the dreamy pastel hues of spring, with subtle hints of pale green gold, buttery yellows, and mauve blues. Embrace the loose water effects to convey a sense of movement and fluidity, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Craft a minimalist and impressionistic EmmAI composition that evokes a deep emotional response without the need for words. Let the painting speak volumes through its serene beauty and emotional depth.
Four ghostly figures stand on brick steps, evoking a whimsical yet cool atmosphere enhanced by muted autumn light.
I thought the red color of Death Angels cover from the "Veil of Deception" record would perfectly fit to the former red curtains of this stage... sadly no good quality of this print was to find in the internet.

Having just arrived from Calgary, the timelessly elegant 'Royal Canadian Pacific' glistens in the quickly fading light at Lake Louise, Alberta — evoking thoughts of an era when legendary trains such as The Dominion and The Canadian called on this scenic resort town — as EMD FP9A 4107 utilizes the high track to run around its train in preparation for a private charter to Banff. On this day, the consist of this distinguished six-car train included APU Power Car (CP 97), HB Bowen (CP 110), Glacier (CP 89), Major Rogers (CP 103), Selkirk (CP 3605), and the regal Mount Stephen (CP 74), all trailing A-B-A configured locomotives 1401, 1900, and 4107.

Italia, Toscana, Monteriggioni, Primavera 2017
Monteriggioni è una città medievale circondata da mura, situata su una collina naturale vicino a Siena, in Toscana. Monteriggioni fu costruita dai senesi nel 1214-19 come prima linea nelle loro battaglie contro Firenze. Le mura, pressoché circolari, misurano circa 570 metri e seguono i contorni naturali della collina. 14 torri su basi quadrate si stagliano in modo equidistante le une dalle altre e vi sono due cancelli. Il poeta toscano Dante Alighieri usò le torrette di Monteriggioni come similitudine con l’anello dei giganti che circondano gli abissi infernali.
però che, come su la cerchia tonda
Montereggion di torri si corona,
così la proda che 'l pozzo circonda
torreggiavan di mezza la persona
li orribili giganti, cui minaccia
Giove del cielo ancora quando tuona.
( Dante Alighieri, Inferno canto XXXI, lines 40-45)
Monteriggioni is is a medieval walled town, located on a natural hillock near Siena, Tuscany. Monteriggioni was built by the Sienese in 1214–19 as a front line in their wars against Florence. There are roughly circular walls, totalling a length of about 570 metres (1,870 ft) and following the natural contours of the hill, 14 towers on square bases set at equidistance, and two gates. The Tuscan poet Dante Alighieri used the turrets of Monteriggioni to evoke the sight of the ring of giants encircling the Infernal abyss.
“As with circling round
Of turrets, Monteriggioni crowns his walls;
E’en thus the shore, encompassing the abyss,
Was turreted with giants, half their length
Uprearing, horrible, whom Jove from heaven
Yet threatens, when his muttering thunder rolls.”
( Dante Alighieri, Inferno canto XXXI, lines 40-45)
