if you look closely enough, the words around the girl read " this is aqua. she just got a date. she is happy that she has found a man who did not see her apple and thinks she is a beautiful girl"
i wonder what i was thinking when i painting this oO oh, these series of painting was done directly using paint, so its more of a impromptu kind of work, which makes it more interesting! esp the accompanying words!! she's a guy!!! see the APPLE!!the above two artwork were inspired by Yue Min Jun. His trademark is painting a laughing face, no matter what the subject matters are doing. the faces are the same, its like a stereotyped. i was intrigued by his art when introduced by a nafa teacher. though my painting is not the same, the similarities are that the subject matter is always smiling, ALSO! I'VE ADDED THE PIG NOSE!!!! haha, it was fun painting these series
i think his paintings are freaky and i wouldn't buy them because I've no where to hang it in my house. its so creepy!!! the faces on the characters are exactly if not 98% similar. its like cloning, photocopying a person. moreover, he is always laughing and his mouth is ridiculously big and there SO MANY TEETH and the inside of the mouth is black. i mean. its weird. but this is what makes him famous. it's hi's distinctive art style. once you see this face, you would know its him. AND I JUST REALISED, HIS WORK IS ACTUALLY HIS INTERPERTATION OF Delacroix, Eugène 's WORK. HERES THE ORIGINAL AND HIS WORK AGAIN
Delacroix, Eugène, in full FERDINAND- VICTOR-EUGENE DELACROIX (b. April 26, 1798, Charenton-Saint-Maurice, Fr.--d. Aug. 13, 1863, Paris), the greatest French Romantic painter, whose use of colour was influential in the development of both Impressionist and Postimpressionist painters. His inspiration came chiefly from historical or contemporary events or literature, and a visit to Morocco in 1832 provided him with further exotic subjects. Eugene Delacroix is numbered among the greatest and most influential of French painters. He is most often classified as an artist of the Romantic school. His remarkable use of color was later to influence impressionist painters and even modern artists such as Pablo Picasso.Ferdinand-Victor-Eugene Delacroix was born on April 26, 1798, in Charenton-St-Maurice, France. In 1815 he became the pupil of the French painter Pierre-Narcisse Guerin and began a career that would produce more than 850 paintings and great numbers of drawings, murals, and other works. In 1822 Delacroix submitted his first picture to the important Paris Salon exhibition: Dante and Virgil in Hell. A technique used in this work--many unblended colors forming what at a distance looks like a unified whole--would later be used by the impressionists. His next Salon entry was in 1824: Massacre at Chios. With great vividness of color and strong emotion it pictured an incident in which 20,000 Greeks were killed by Turks on the island of Chios. The French government purchased it for 6,000 francs.
there's a sense of irony in his works. this painting was suppose to capture the strong emotion in which 20,000 greeks were killed. but the sky is blue, the men are smiling, cranes are flying. whats so emotional about this painting? its all happy and gay. see the similarities and the differences? next time i will do a post on him, he's so interesting!!!!! i need to sleep now. tata
Yue Min Jun is clearly unfamiliar with the history of western civilization to have a remote chance at sincere cynicism.
ReplyDeleteThe Massacre of Chios resulted in the murder of 42,000 innocent men, women, and children and the enslavement of another 52,000. It resulted in an outcry of emotion from Europe and America against that barbarism of the Ottoman Empire. Efforts of Victor Hugo and Eugene Delacroix were to bring awareness to the desolation.
In mocking this tragic event, Yue Min Jun has revealed his lack of compassion and misunderstanding of history. It is a disgrace that should not be supported.
you have obviously not studied any of yue minjun's works. Yue minjun is an artist that has been on low profile for the chinese government because he has been denying that any of his pieces have political opinions. It is very obvious when you look at his painting "Execution" he is referring to an incident which happened in China in 1989. However he doesn't want to get into trouble with the government and get arrested. His pieces are obvious that he is mocking the chinese government, its just that he took out the sensitive aspects from the paintings. (guns, blood, revolutionary flags, etc)...
Deletehello! erm is your comment referring to me? i haven't studied yue minjun's works at all. i merely said my initial thoughts without any influence from prior background knowledge regarding him. it'll be interesting to compared my before and after thoughts. i wouldn't want my initial thoughts to be influenced by other people's opinion/his own opinions. after all, the artist's audience is the world, thereby anyone who views his works can be considered an audience. And his work will definitely resonate with different audience and the impact and meaning behind the work would differ from one audience to another. There can be many different interpretations of one single work and i don't think there is an absolute right or wrong interpretation of any single work! hmm maybe i should do a post on the h3 stuff ^^ it'll be interesting. anyway thanks for your comments!~
