Balance-Art21

Watch the video: http://www.pbs.org/art21/watch-now/episode-balance

This episode centers around three artists. They are Rackstrack Dawnes, Robert Mangold, and Sarah Sze. Dawnes focuses on landscape. He paints beautiful picture of multiple environments. He uses detail and precision. Mangold is a contemporary artist. He uses circles to tell stories. His work is very mysterious. Finally, Sze is a sculptor. Articulate, she uses scale to create sculpture that relate to nature. 

Currently, Dawnes is working on paintings in areas such as Texas. He mentions that he is very "possessive" of his areas and he does not like other artists there. Mangold is working on creating a wall for a building. He uses his usual shapes. He describes this as a "challenge". Sze, throughout the documentary, is working on a sculpture which illustrates negative space. The sculpture doubles as a bird feeder for pedestrians to admire. Sze, along with male friends, worked very hard to complete the sculpture.
