This artwork depicts the objects being painted in the scumbling technique. The objects are local fruits, plastic coffee cup with a lid, and a bottle. This technique involves the colour white without using much water.
Title: Melon, Spray and a Beer Bottle
Medium: Acrylic on paper
Year: 2019
Collection: Acrylic work
This artwork depicts a set up of a melon fruit, spray bottle and a beer bottle. Using the techniques of glazing, I painted the objects to appear semi-realistic. Through this technique, the colour white is prohibited, hence I had to use various mix of tones to get the lighter colour.
Title: Stabbed Apples
Medium: Acrylic on paper
Year: 2019
Collection: Final artwork
Theme: Real-life (Vanitas)
This artwork depicts the innocence of apples that are stabbed with knives, which are also known as weapons. The knives evokes a sense of impurity towards the apples, that are recognisably known as the fruit of Adam and Eve. Apples are often portrayed as innocent fruits, as seen in the bible, as well as fairy tales; apples are often eaten by innocent, young princesses. Apples are often resonated with princesses and beauty. It indulges a sense of purity and innocence. With the weaponise knives being stabbed into the apples, it contaminated the apples, making it poisonous.This artwork portrays the poison of innocence.
Above the artwork, it shows the documentation process of the painting itself, it portrays on how it was initially planned. Under the influence of Vanitas, the painting was painted based on a real-life set up that was set-up by myself. I bought the apples at the market and the knives from a value store to save production cost.
Fine Arts: Sculpting. (2020)
Here is my clay artwork + documentation of process.
Medium: Clay and water.
Title: The Choker
Medium: Clay
Year: 2020
Collection: Organic Pottery
This sculpture is shaped like a human male hand. I was inspired by the human circulatory system,- especially the veins that ran the adrenaline in our wrists. I am very fascinated by the veins and blood vessels, hence I decided to build something that caught my interest. I have an odd interest towards the human veins, therefore I added the details; bone structure and visible veins on the hand. The title was named because of a particular reason. You figure it out. I shall keep the ulterior reason to myself as I want the audience to figure it out on their own.
