Consider the impact that Words & Images have on society

Words, images, advertisements, photography, and media engulf our lives. So, I pose these two questions when viewing my postings:

How do visual and verbal rhetoric affect society? How do they shape communities, people, and cultures?

Both visual and verbal rhetoric influence how people think, feel, and react to what they see or hear. No matter how small the intent, words, images, advertisements, photography, and the media have the power to change a community(s), a person(s), or culture(s).

ROBERTO BERNARDI: Hyper-Realist-Still-Life-Painter





Roberto Bernardi is an exceptional painter (YES THESE ARE PAINTINGS)! His work is amazing; it looks as if it's reality. He studied Renaissance painting and pictorial technique, which led to him creating his own hyper-realist works. His techniques: oil painting on canvas, focusing on the contrast of lightness and transparency. Bernardi's paintings can be found in numerous public and private collections throughout the world.

    Meredith I'm still on the hunt, trying to find where his exhibits are. I want to see them up close as well. I think his work is amazing.

    These are pretty amazing! I know these are paintings, but they remind me of work done by a local photographer, Christos Palios. He's known for his panoramas. A friend of mine actual has a piece that he has done (Bus Retro ... you can check it out on his site) and from certain angles it looks like a photograph, and others a painting. He does pretty neat work.
