Flash of Red 2023-7

It may not be as controversial as DuChamp's piece but I rather doubt the person who installed these pipes ever thought of them as an artistic subject matter! They caught my eye as I was heading into work the other day.
An unusual find and fabulous edit.

I'm sure they did not!

Safe to say they didn’t. But then Art is subjective.

Intricate piece of plumbing, and nicely caged in! A delightful find albeit unusual !

I think this is the perfect response! The grittiness that you have processed it with definitely makes it something that Duchamp should be impressed with FAV
February 9th, 2023  
Fantastic!

I like your processing.

I think almost anything takes on more importance and more artistic value if you just look at it closely. Taking mundane objects and just putting a frame around them makes them seem suddenly more worthy of interest. I find I'm wondering about the two lighter spots on the ground and trying to figure out what they are and how they got there.

Nice composition to highlight your find

Very interesting combination of sharp straight lines and curves.

Looks great in monochrome.
February 9th, 2023  
Love it.
February 9th, 2023  
Looks like a puzzle.

Industrial art. A nice coincident.

Thank you Diana, Katrina, Carole, Beryl, Katy, Pam, Laura, Joanne, Harry, Debbie, Hannah, Babs, Kathy, and Ferry!

@grammyn No real processing- it's just the pavement. I left the exposure lower to give it a dark feeling.

@gardencat Yes, I totally agree with you on that! The two lighter spots are actually caps on the ground for underground pipes (plumbing?? gas line? electrical?) or something else like that.

So interesting to consider something so mundane as art. Great lines and composition.

@eudora Thank you Diane- yes, art to some, but to be honest, I wouldn't hang it on my wall! (And it's my picture!)
