Pop Up Show-Artworks

Every artist that participate in this exhibition have to submit a total of 20 artworks.

Mine mainly consist of collage and other media.

Under the Night Skies, Pulau Ketam Series:

First batch of Collage Works made (total 4 pcs),
During the Pulau Ketam International Art Festival (See OctoberPost), there are many lovely memories that I simply can't forget. Which of course include the feelings that the place gave me :)

Beside the sea wind, I love the breeze that brush through my face in the night...
Small stories of the artworks:

The Night Sea: In a boat, in the night; the sea looks mysterious and scary to me, but I love the serenity                           of the surrounding.

A Rain's Charm: It was raining almost every day during the festival.

Sunsets: Memories of waiting for the dusk to come just to see my bridge to glow...
               (IT'S FLUORESCENT!!)

Kite Flying: When I was at the Lover's Bridge I saw about 3 or more kites flying very very high.                              Later, I heard that it was flew by an old fisherman who lost half of his one arm.
                     (It's REALLY HIGH)

In the Sea's Cradle: Memories of experience how it's like going to fish in the sea with the fisherman.
                  ( However the truth is I had probably slept 8 hours out of 12 hours in the fisherman's boat.)

Farewell & Far Away: Trying to depict the feeling of a kind friend of mine who is (secret).

Lantern Walk: The festival was held around the time of Mooncake Festival, so there was this epic                                 walk with the villagers (and of course a bunch of kids!) Very much enjoyed.

WIP

*****************************************************************

Alsoooooo, some artworks that didn't meet my expectation... and left sobbing in the corner. But I'm just gonna show the photo of before they turn worse.

*******************************************************************

Well, that's pretty much of them.

Much appreciate to my those who help me collect fashion magazines, which the pretty outfits are the main material used for the collage. Thanks a lot to my family for giving me their comments in the setting of my artworks and of course, to those little kids and dear colleague that help me cutting out the dresses from magazines :DDD

Pressure + Excitement + Happiness 

POP UP Exhibition-preface

Another Upcoming Group Exibition I'm participating in is organised by Starhill Gallery and a group called Breakthrough Project, followed up with the name "Pop Up Exhibition"

Which will be featuring 200+ artwork 10+ Artist, the artworks are in fixed size, fixed amount, and fixed price as well, from what I know, I'd say it's like a way they are trying to promote better artworks for common people to purchase.

We weren't given a lot of time to prepare this. For me, it's quite a rush. Given that the official announcement to prepare this exhibition is around November 2014, and dateline at 28th of March. However I was busy being an art assistant for the whole December so I don't have extra time to think about what should I do.

After struggling over a few ideas I finally settle down in consulting myself to concentrate on collage artworks rather than continuing on my fairy tales or literature fantasies. (Since there's not much time left if you subtract the holidays of CNY)

Overall the outcome I would actually give myself 8.5 out of 10 (for the 15 collage works)

If divided the time I used to prepare those 15 artworks, (not including sleeping,eating and resting etc) It's likely 48 hrs per artwork. I didn't even see that I would actually burn the midnight oil nearly a month. It's out of expectations, but it's worth a bunch.

But I also waste some time during the period, I did extra artworks that came out badly because I wasn't giving enough thought to do the right things. Hope I 'll be more focus on what I gonna do and don't change for unnecessary stuff ( on the contrary it's good too i think haha)
