I will come back to these Shenanigans but for now here is the rest of my documentation, hope you had fun back there on the first post...
The making of myWEIRD SCULPTURES (a look into some other things I was painting on):
Artist Statement:
“Draw what you see.” Those were the words of my art
teacher. “I am drawing what I see.” I would reply. I had often argued just like
James Abbot McNeill Whistler that “if a man who paints only what he sees before
him were an artist, then the king of artists would be the photographer”. This led me to
start questioning the significance of drawing what I saw, what was I really
attempting to do, was I trying to recreate something that was already in
existence and if so, why?
Instead I decided
to take a different approach and began to make things without planning ahead. Soon
enough, it was through the intuitive process that I was able to interpret the
world around me. Whether it was through experiences, dreams, memories etc.
By
creating a still life that consists of painted objects colliding with
non-painted objects and I want to explore the creative process and different
methodology behind the work. I attempt to look out for a relationship between
the process of the work, how ideas are generated when making the work, the
result of the work and how the resulting work is interpreted.
I want
the viewer to question what they are looking at. Creating uncertainties for the
viewer and also bringing about the question of: Why do we want to represent the
world around us?
