| Popis: | 101 This essay is an exploration of related documents, analysis and interpretations of work, started in 2011 with the《Artificial Plant》series based on absurdist fiction, to works grounded on the myth of mass media propaganda, such as the 《Flower》and《Manufacture Goddess》series. First, the structure of theatre of absurd is used as a theoretical carrier in my research. Because my work is related to the visualization of imagery of absurdist fiction, I use its theory as the discourse to present a state of being and senses of absurdity in the daily life. Meanwhile, analyzing correlative art works and social phenomena, I also examine the creative inspiration as a means to organize sequence of ideas in my practice. Secondly, I contemplate on human values, spreading over to observe mass media in pop culture. With technological progress and the media’s full invasion on our daily lives, we are based now on a belief system constructed and influenced by it; disseminating slogans and symbols and non-stop producing duplications. The media is deified, so much like a ritual, and as so strengthens the meaning of community, but somehow it also gradually diminishes the value of individuality. In addition, analyzing contemporary art form in an angle of kitsch art and the relationship between mass media and pop culture, I expand my observation to nowadays situations, analyzing how these promote the worship of goddess and influence female self-identity. After clarifying views, I reflect my practices and dissect the content of my works, as well as connections with the statements above to discuss art forms, and composition of digital images with online copies applied as materials, attempting to integrate image and dialogue in my paintings. Based on all, I examine the accuracy of creative form and content; also record my painting progression, and finally draw conclusions from the current state of art creating to think over the direction and energy in my future creation. |
