Pareidolia

Seeing shapes in clouds now has a name - Pareidolia.

From Wikipedia... The term pareidolia (pronounced /pærɪˈdoʊliə/) describes a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon, and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse.

Just mucking around with black and white as a change from the usual colours. Thought it would be a change.

This one's called: Whisper.

Acrylic - 1000 x 850mm

Anyway, I've been busy painting for my next exhibition at Central Plaza One, Brisbane.

We're calling the expo ' Off the Wall' and giving it something of an urban feel so a brick wall, Vespa, and so. Most still to be painted so no one knows what will be in the expo.

  1. One of my most fave films is "Amelie" starring the divine Audrey Tatou... remember that sensational scene with the animals she sees in the cloud shapes!
