Her Wonderland

THE EPIC ART COMPETITION------UOB, Painting of the Year... is definitely one of the biggest deal probably because they are giving USD as prizes, haha.

I participated once when I was still a student, the painting I competed with is not very complete, but it's one of my favorites ( and is still hanging in my bed room now)

It's sort of creepy but I really love it lol

This time was my second attempt but I guess it's still long way to go if I really going to get the award

:O

Anyway, it's my first attempt of combining oil and collage together ( have been craving to do this for a really long time since I was into collage) I never expect how the outcome would be and should I be filling the whole canvas with papers...I don't really know (because my student ask me, which i think it's a very good question :] ) Just felt like doing it, that's all. (probably I have got used to fill up every corner with things I had)

The polka dots and the way of painting I did for this was slightly different from how I used to paint, simply because I wanted to try bringing out something ,different. (it's too abstract for me to describe clearly)  I don't know is this the right thing to do or not, even if it's a failure, at least I have learn to do better in the future. Some of the collage part wasn't done very well, however having done such a 'bigger' work than my last it has surely taken me to another level, perhaps.

Some description about the artwork:

Imagination often conflict with our lives, daydream happens as we strive through reality. An individual tends to have his own ideal world, which could be enriched with blissful moment and leading a peaceful life. A fulfilled life is built with scattered pieces of what we went through, hence building our very own Wonderland, a secret place of one’s imagination.

The figure is painted in back view, as she sets into her Wonderland, a mixture of emotion and ecstasy; a feeling that is hard to describe and show. While the background finishes off with colorful collage to depict a place that co-exists with reality but unseen. Abstract it may be, still, it is up to us to define something, their existence, meanings or feelings.

Platform II Exhibition

After doing bunch of collage for Pop Up Show during April the next exhibition I had to prepare was Platform II by Chandan Gallery. Although during the meeting the organizer it seem like they were hoping I could do collage work for this exhibition because they wanted to create an exhibition of all sorts of medium and presentation. Since I have already plan what I'm gonna do for my next work, with the most typical medium ---Oil Painting, I just keep on doing it anyway, continuing from the work "Loop" which I did around this time of last year.

Appreciate this chance very much ;)

This series comes by inspired from the poem before the story starts ( Alice in Wonderland).

Some of the verse:

All in the golden afternoon//Its quaint events were hammered out—//"There will be nonsense in it!"—...and much more, a very imaginative poem for me, imagining how the whole story starts from this!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not particularly good in literature but I'm a big fans of classical stories and writings. To title my artwork well I would go through dictionary to look for the word according to my taste.

I'm not sure how this goes correctly, but when lining up 3 artworks together it would be:

"Loop A Quaintness Romp In Rove"

...which certainly sound like a verse to me...haha :D

I personally love Loop the most... but they would be more perfect if they were align together 

(I think heheh)

Rejoice 

:D

This is the first artwork I produce since I left school and I honestly think it's the best painting of mine comparing to my school years work. :)

About the Artwork

Alice in Wonderland is a famous story. It has been adapted, retold and remade into movies and other kinds of production. The story starts as Alice jumps into the Rabbit hole and swirls through the mystical hole that is glorious and mysterious. The scenery in the mystical hole is interesting but what attracts me more is the moment when she decides to or not to jump. This is an important moment for Alice. I observe that the decision to jump is more significant than the consequence of such action as Alice reaches the wonderland. This observation helps to choose the topic of my work: “jumping”.

I used to draw comics before I went to Dasein. In comics, paneling and composition are some of the more important elements beside the plot of the story. In my current work, I used these elements to demonstrate a different perspective of “triptych” that is more interesting.

Artist statement

In my work, I focus on gesture and composition. During my final year in the college, as I search for materials to prepare for my portfolio, I discovered that fairy tales and classical stories attracted me most. These materials are the foundation for many of my ideas in my painting.

And some collage works which I quite took some interest starting this year ; )

The Last Serenity

Collage on paper,

size around A4.

2014

=This work is created based on Oscar Wilde's short stories, " The Fisherman and his Soul". I like this story very much and I wanted to create a scenery where the Fisherman was hugging the dead mermaid, so here is it  :))

Hugged

Collage on Paper

A4 size

2014

=This work is created based on a Singapore writer's work, Cyril Wong. I think it was fate I came across his book "Let me tell you something about that night" at the price of RM5. I brought it immediately because I found his writing immensely inspiring and attractive. This Collage work is from one of the short stories, The Boy with the Flower That Grew Out Of His Ass.This is the scene where the boy with the flower and the boy with single wing hugging each other and sleeping on the bed.

AND....mini name card size Collage Works! :DD

...these mini joyful works is not part of the final works. BUT, they meant a lot and has became an important process for me to make my final works more perfect... I never show my lecturer until the assessment day. They were surprise I made these and comment that don't underestimate these "mini artworks". I was happy to hear that from them, because I'm a shy person...haha. I will continue making them when I felt like and hope to make a mini exhibition in some cafe someday^ ^ 

Cheers!!

人物油画

就这样，过了第二年，最期盼的人物油画课也临终了。
基本上技术有一年比一年好，观察力有一年比一年更进，但往往心有余力不足，很多方面，细节上（也指整体）在老师点评时，有些他说的问题我都有注意到，但因为时间逼近，心思上也渐渐落下，很多时候已经没有那个心情管细节了。

Anyway~这个学期对自己的表现挺满意，能在范围内做到的自我标准都有达成。

先来是创作。

人物表现——《欢》

137cm x 75 cm

Oil on Canvas

2012

哈哈哈。

自从看到巴西画家的画之后，特别想画开心的东西。所以就选了这个朋友，因为他种是特别开心，但感觉上他背后总有苦哀，却说不出来。那表情在我要特写的东西，所以也是吩咐他特别摆的，看起来特别扭，苦中作乐似。

叙述性——《梦后》

75cm x 75 cm

Oil on Canvas

2013

这幅画主要是叙述梦醒之后的想法。梦醒之后常常徘徊在梦与醒之间，而且精神上会有一种感觉 “完了，完了” ， 糟透之类，严重的话还会精神不定，恍惚，飘浮的。红线是于分界梦与现实（上为梦，下为现实）乱七八糟的场面是指梦境，你看得到东西，却说不出。

《斑驳》

纯粹想表现几何形和有机形，线与面的和谐感。。。（懒）

肖像！最期待了！。。。zzz
