6. Ivan Clarke - a successful Queenstown landscape painter, went on holiday. As he departed, he looked back at his dog, looking wistfully after him. "That dog is lonely," he said.
Upon his return, he sketched, and then painted a picture like none he had ever done before. Instead of a gorgeous realistic landscape, brimming with light, Ivan painted a lively, whimsical image of a dog, standing fully clothed, looking longingly after a departing ferry, and lit by an over-bright moon. He called it "Bon Voyage.” Ivan also began telling his children the story of "Lonely Dog".

ReplyDeleteHi Arkawat here.
ReplyDeleteShilpta Gupta 'Singing Cloud' 2000, steel and microphones.
Her work is pretty awesome. I think you like this work too.
When i first saw this work. it made me feel kind of uncomfortable and asking to myself "What is that thing". Then i listened to the different noise from different microphone. Instantly, the word freedom and hope came to my mind. This work impressed me because Shilpta Gupta could communicate through her work quite very well.
Moreover, when i look down at the shadow of 1000 of microphones. It looks like some creepy living thing and made me fear somehow.
This work is conceptual for me. It made me think a lot of things such as poor people , terrorist , monster, ritual , and politics exploitation.
This work is easy to understand what the artist wants to say. It also depicted currently issue from around the world.
Her work works quite well in this current situation of the world to make people realize "Is it can call Freedom protect through violence. This work could be your ideal to work with in the future. I very like it.
