myDADAISM




















This is my dadaism work. I've got this idea from the famous dadaist artist Michael Duchamp, he put the uriner as an art. for me its interesting because you can feel the artist feeling (the protest agians the art).

I feel the uriner shape is just like a chair so I combine the uriner with the bottom part of the chair. I think maybe with our technology now combine with the art can make something unusual like this.

DADAISM




















Dadaism or Dada is a post-World War I cultural movement in visual art as well as literature (mainly poetry), theatre and graphic design, began in neutral Zürich, Switzerland. This art movement start from 1916 to 1922.

This art movement came out because of protest against the burgeois nationalist and colonist which is Dadaist believe as the root cause the war. Many dadaist believe the 'reason' and 'logic' of bourgeois capitalist lead people to the war.

DADAISM is about anti art against the traditional ideas of art.


The ideal of the modern art/contemporary art movement of Dadaism was to fight art with art. A great example is Marcel Duchamp's 'L.H.O.O.Q' which mocks the mona Lisa by installing a mustache on her face. The idea of Dada was to offend and shock the art world.
This art movement become a strong influence for Surrealism which is followed later.

CUBISM




















Is an Avant Garde art movement start in Paris around 1907. Lead by pablo Picasso and George Braque.

this art movement rejecting the single view point in the painting. Proportions, organic integrity and continuity of life samples and material objects are abandoned.
in this art movement, the artist used an analytical system which is three-dimensional subjects were fragmented and redefined from several different points of view simultaneously.

if we see the painting from this art movement it will look like the artisit lazy to draw or paint their painting, but if we take a look closer we can find out that it is a difficult combination of geometry shapes. for me this art movement its very unique because you ignore the realistic side, but we replace it with the combination of geometry but still nice to be looked at. if i take a look for some cubism painting they play with the colour very well.

later this art movement has second movent whic is called synthetic cubism. this is about introduction of different texture,surface, collage elements, and large variety of merged subject.


the famous artist/ painter from this art movement are:
Pablo Picasso, George braque, Juan Gris.



















detach













involved

Angle:
for me sometimes we didn't realize that when we take a picture we used angle to make it look better. some angle, like vertical angle which is represents power and weakness. and for horizontal angle gives viewer more direction to take a look the picture closer.

in this two picture above, one its detach which is the represent participants not make the viewer involved. but the second picture which i take from the shampoo advertisement the represent participants just look straght away to the viewer. It's try to sugest the audinece to trust or buy the product.

White Rabbit Gallery

Entry Fee:
FREE

Opening Hours:
Thursday-Sunday | 10am - 6pm

Location:
30 Balfour St Chippendale NSW 2008 Australia

White rabbit art theme:
its all about chinese contemporary art. and some of the masterpiece is talk about social matters in china, some of it talk about human and nature, and some talk about politics in their masterpiece.

My favourite piece of art:
























Artist :Li ting ting
Born: Shanxi province, 1982

this painting if we not pay attention clearly, we just see like this is a beautiful painting or that's it. but when u see it closely, u can see that this is not only like just ordinary water colour painting. the artisit used the rice paper material and water based ink and its not a easy task, as i already try it before in my hometown. I like the technique that she used in this painting, look easy but actually hard to be done.


in here I feel the artisit wants to show about movement of live and if we take a look, we can see this painting upside down and the object in this painting(toys) still can be recognize.



My least favourite piece of art:
















artist: Chen Chunmu
Born: Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, 1981

i don't like this painting because it makes me feel disgusting and scarry at the same time. i like the technique that this artisit used but i dont like the figures that he paint. seems like dead chicken and its hard for me to get the message from this paintings.


My first feeling when I go to white rabbit gallery is, excited. From the first when i entered the gallery i already amazed by the red statue done by the Wang Jiuliang near the entries door. I was shocked but later I feel hungry at the same time because the smell of the toast from the tea room that this gallery have. but after we start the tour i'm getting more excited by the masterpiece that the chinese artist done. it's all amazing and some got the deeper meaning inside their masterpiece. each artist got different technique. I'm impressed because i just realized that some of the artist still young and they already can express about their thought about their country china. I enjoy this short tour.

the beneficial from this excursion for me is, I can know about the condition in china and how the artist shows it through their art.

my work

















original picture

Impressionism















Claude Monet The Cliffs at Etretat


Impressionism is an art movement that first started in France in the mid 1880. this art movement is a major one especially in painting, but later this art movement influence in music as well. In this art movement, many artist painted in a very traditional way which is spending hours in a studio, and this art movement pay attintion in extremely detailed paintings. the object sometimes focus in people or landscapes or some historical events.













Camille Pissaro

some the famous artist or can be the key people in this art movement are :
Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissaro
among those artist who get influenced with this art movement, monet,Pissaro,Sisley, andMorisot,maybe considered as a pure impressionest Monet is one of the artist that influence this art movement.

for me this art movement is really interesting because its put extremely detail on the painting with using the brush technique.
I like the way this art movement create the detail in a simple object like nature or people. they used bright colour and when you see it closed you can find sort of brush technique (like dot pattern).

white rabbit gallery









About white rabbit gallery:

The White Rabbit Collection is one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of contemporary Chinese art. Founded by Kerr and Judith Neilson, it focuses on works produced after 2000.

The origins of the Collection go back to the late 1990s, when Judith Neilson engaged Wang Zhiyuan, a Chinese artist then living in Sydney, as her art tutor. He introduced her to the astonishing explosion of creativity taking place in China in the wake of the “Opening Up” that had begun in 1989. Mrs Neilson began buying works, but soon ran out of space to hang them. She and her husband then decided to open a gallery that would make the exciting world of contemporary Chinese art available to all Australians.

The White Rabbit Gallery, a specially converted knitting factory near Sydney’s Central Station, has four floors of exhibition space as well as a theatrette, a library and a teahouse. Only a fraction of the Collection is on show at any time. The entire contents of the gallery are rehung twice a year.

1. Viewer :

the viewer for this picture is me and can be anybody else also. In this picture we can see that it seems like theres is a river with the watter fall behind the building but actually its just a street painting done by Julian Beever. for me this street painting is very awsome because we can enjoy the picture if we in the right angle to look at and if we already in the right position we can see this painting in 3D ways. street painting for me is another way to create some art with another media not only paper or canvas with oil or wattercolour media but we can do it in street with chalk as a media like Julian Beever did. He do it in a cool ways that the viewer (thats me and you) can enjoyed the result in 3D like we getting involved in this picture.

2. Producer:

The producer for is painting is Julian Beever. He is an English chalk artist. He start his project painting since mid-1990 and in his painting he used projection technique to get the 3D looked result from the right angle.

3. Represented:

in this picture we can see the river and the watterfall and there is an old raft with the broken flag seems flown by the river and nearly fall into the watter fall. we can feel that behind the building(in the right side) there's a big river and seems dangerous. in this picture I think the painter wants to show as the connected between human and the nature.
