Hotel Eden Paper

The room is a very old square shaped place.  It is bordered by four brown pieces of wood.  The room itself looks as if it is made of old dirty scratched up wood colored white.  In the top right of the room sits what looks like an orange resting on two circular pieces of wood running almost the length of the room.  In the top left of the room is some sort of fan with a black wire running down the wall and to the ground.  There is also a picture on the wall that says Hotel Eden.  Next to the picture to the left is black markings on the wall that are too hard to make out.  The bottom right of the art is what looks like some sort of water dispenser, there is a pipe angled downward running to the left and ending in what looks like a place that holds water to drink from.  In the middle of the room is a beautifully colored parrot sitting on branch looking into the fan holding the wire that it is connected to in its mouth.  The wire runs from the fan to the parrots mouth and into the what looks like a water bowl.  

The picture uses a lot of light colors and value.  There are a good amount of squares in artwork he uses the space well but looks cramped for the bird.  There is a good balance of white around the parrot giving the walls a smoothish texture.  Overall all these things bring unity to the piece of art.  

The Artwork is called Hotel Eden, before I opened the picture the first thing I thought of was the Garden of Eden.  After looking at the picture it did kind of remind me of it also.  It appears as if the orange in the top right is acting like the forbidden fruit not to be touched by anyone.  It is like the parrot did touch it and is now being punished for it by being trapped in a room where it cant even spread its wings.  The orange is like the reminder for why it is in the room in the first place.  It looks like the bird has had enough of being trapped and is trying to kill himself by dipping the fan's wire into the water bowl while biting down on it with its beak.

Overall the picture is unique and odd at the same time.  I think it is trying to say that there are many temptations out there for all of us and if you give into them then you will pay in some way that you will not be satisfied with.
