Margot
60 x 80 cm
Oil Painting
This piece based on my study of chiaroscuro portraitures and Renaissance art; being influenced by artist, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio who paints grotesque yet beautiful, baroque art. For this piece, I experimented with harsh lighting to create a dramatic contrast between the intensely dark and somber background. I painted one side of my subject’s face to bring out a compelling sense of mystery, which will hopefully leave viewers captivated yet perplexed by my subject’s enigmatic expression. Furthermore, I utilized dark, cool, green undertones to enrich the vibrancy of the blood-red color of the silk as red and green are complementary to one another.

Juxtaposition
70 x 50 cm
Oil Painting
This still life piece influenced by still life artist Todd Ford who creates photorealistic oil paintings. Being inspired by his series of paintings depicting a range of glass objects together with silky fabrics. The geometric form of the cubic glass container presents a contrast against the organic form of the soft fabric drapes, and the transparency of the glass offers a contrast with the opacity of the material. My experimentation with these contrasting elements creates a striking juxtaposition which establishes a sense of balance. I focused on building depth and dimension through value changes in the fabric folds, to enrich the texture of the silk.

Facade
30 x 30 x 40 cm
Oil Painting
To create the metal masks, I started by sculpting a single clay face. This piece portrays the various faces that we put on to hide our real emotions from those around us. I utilized the element of repetition to express how we constantly feel the need to undergo this burden of masking ourselves within our day to day lives. The masks resemble remnants of broken Greek and Roman statues and much like them, eventually crack and crumble over time. The melting faces symbolize how these faces that we put on would eventually deteriorate as we grow tiresome of hiding how we feel on the inside.

Lucy
70 x 50 cm
Oil Painting
While painting Lucy, I was inspired by Gustav Klimt’s balance of regularity and irregularity, geometricity and organicity in his textiles. These are not only an aesthetic delight but a mathematical and biological one for they imitate the patterns in nature. In this painting, I used symbols to explore the nature of people. These include the patterns of cave art animals, DNA helices, fish in Christianity, etc. By summarizing the history of human civilization and having the subject gaze intently at the audiences of the present, I embodied a sense of universal communication between the painting and the viewers.

Alice
70 x 50 cm
Oil Painting
I’ve admired John William Waterhouse’s illustrations of mythology since childhood. The beauty that struck me was the transcendental atmosphere created through the subdued and poetic expression of strong emotions in conflict. Pandora is a particularly interesting character, who surrenders to curiosity. I depicted a modern-day Pandora, Alice, whose youthful inquisitiveness also leads her to perils. Inspired by Waterhouse’s symbolic elements, I’ve involved several here, like the watch and the rabbit, representing intended themes - passing of time, dream and immaturity-. But I hope the viewers will relate their memories of “Alice in Wonderland” and recall their childhood wonderlands.

Wyrd
100 x 80 cm
Oil Painting
Wyrd is the Viking goddess of fate and the waterer of Yggdrasil, the tree of life. The word ‘weird’ derives from her name, and I wondered what people might have thought of fate to describe her as being ‘weird’ and at times, cruel. In this painting, I made it vague whether if Wyrd is fetching water (to give life), in the process, spilling some, or if she is pouring it (returning life to the ground). Viewers may not know this Norse tale, but they will still ponder upon the subject’s action and her character- is she motherly and compassionate, or cold and apathetic? It is depends on their interpretation.

Hidden Layer
27 x 8 cm
Plaster, Pewter and Acrylic Paint
The art piece I have created and am submitting is called ‘Hidden Layer.' The piece represents and conveys a realistic image of current society. The monochromatic white face resembles the purity of one's identity from the inside. The melted pewter mask, however, shows how we often hide our true selves to seem something that meets standards. The silver could symbolize the sleek, glamorous, and elegant image of a person's identity. To embrace yourself and show this to the world is something hard for us all as it can be scary to expose yourself in such a big way.

42 x 29.7 cm
Digital Media on Photoshop and Illustrator
My artwork explores the ideas and concepts that are influenced by Alberto Seveso and modern digital art techniques. The piece utilizes a digital medium combined with shapes and vectors. I have incorporated various organic shapes to the figure of the body enhancing its structure and color of skin tone, thus creating a more intense and vibrant tone. This project has allowed me to become more familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator applications. The visual as an abstract portrayal of a warrior as emphasized by the shape of the body, bold red striking color, and straight lines.

Pencil on Illustration Board
I focused on the details of this piece, and enlarged parts of Keelin’s face to do so (such as her eyes, nose, hair, etc.). Although my strong suit isn’t hyperrealism, I wanted to try and go into the direction of it, to be able to capture the reality of Keelin’s features: especially her light blue eyes (which have intricate specs and reflection of light in them).

The Study of Bella
80 x 60 cm
Oil Painting
My study of Bella explores Caravaggio’s painting style, an artist who is well known for paintings with dramatic lighting also known as chiaroscuro. I studied his art style by taking pictures of my classmates using dramatic lighting and then used these photos for my oil painting. This being my first time painting portraits, I’ve learned many techniques to achieve in painting portraiture and the different types of textures that work best in the various parts of face (hair, eyes, etc.).

Pen Drawing: Positive & Negative
81.7 x 23.6 cm
Pen and Acrylic Paint
The main thing that I tried to achieve through this artwork is to play around with the positive illusion of shapes and negative forms. I recycled a box that has stickers on surface which show the location where this artwork was produced. The saturated red of the stamp emphasizes the artwork and the black ink balances with the positive areas. On the positive area, I used a pen to clearly show the form of the face with using various thickness of lines. The clean and thin lines show the hairline, jawline, and neckline, and the light, hazy lines are used to cast the shadows.

Chiaroscuro
80 x 60 cm
Oil Painting
This piece is a black & white chiaroscuro portrait of Bella standing by a window and a lace curtain, and the curtain is casting patterns with shadows on her face. I animated this showing the movement of eyes and shadows as a gif format. Through this work, I tried to achieve the contrast of light and dark values mainly focusing on the shadows cast on face. Also, I used a brush with a unique texture to look like an artwork painted with a brush.

Oil paint and charcoal
On 16 April, 2014, the MV Sewol sank, killing 304 of the 417 passengers on board. Of the 304 passengers who died in the incident, 200--almost two thirds--were high school students from Danwon High School. This was the worst maritime disaster in South Korea’s history, and the initial shock and grief was met with widespread social and political indignation. In this drawing, I portrayed the urgency situation where a high school student is trying to escape from the sinking ship. I’ve been actively searching for new mediums of art to express my field of interest, especially the pressuring social challenges of today.

Distress
77 x 56 cm
Charcoal and oil painting
The intention of this artwork is to convey distress and fear the subject is experiencing. I utilized the cross-hatching technique, which construct psychological tension in the drawing. The contrast of values on the left and right side of the drawing creates visual interest. Moreover, the facial expression and the hands of the subject add to the dark ambience of this drawing.
15. SoEun Lee
Psychology Teacher
100 x 80 cm
I was influenced by Egon Schiele, who is an Austrian artist. Using Egon Schiele’s style, I
wanted to convey the subtle psychological tension in this painting. I used watercolor and charcoal to draw the lines on the clothing. Specifically, I utilized irregular organic and geometric lines to create visual interest. The fairly limited color palette adds to the vintage atmosphere of the painting.

Haida Rock
27.5 x 19, 38.5 x 29, 7 x 5 x 3 cm
Rock and acrylic paint panels
In this piece, my aim was to celebrate the art and culture of the Haida people, an indigenous group located in northern British Columbia and southeast Alaska. The style of Haida art uses organic forms to connect them to the natural world, and this is what I was hoping to achieve with my artwork. I used different values for the colors I worked with to create a form by giving my subject a three-dimensional appearance. I utilized warm and cool colors to emphasize certain aspects of my piece such as the blue of the rock, which brings the object forward, contrasted against the dark red of the background.

One Last Hope
42 x 28.45 cm
Digital Media on Photoshop
Through the artwork One Last Hope, I wanted to depict the repetitive lingering attachment that people have to the many aspects of their lives, such as choices they made, or memories, but mainly to the fragile love and happiness, which the red balloons signify. I was influenced a lot by the two artists whom I studied, Kyle Thompson and Ji Hun Kush Kim, with their usage of color, texture, shape, balance, rhythm and contrasts. I was able to produce an image of my own style as I taught myself on photoshop techniques using youtube videos and other tutorials.

A Hundred Bars
53 x 41.5 cm
Graphite on Paper
In using graphite on a dark surface, the reflective qualities of the medium use light to re-define the normative techniques used in classical graphite drawings: the binary difference between black and white. The piece eclipses the typical binary structure of drawing and past the confines of using dark pigments on light or light pigments on a dark surface. It is wholesomely an image shaped by reflection. The confinement aspect of the piece is a means to illustrate the mental and physical confinement faced day and day by African American males.

Seeking Refuge
47 x 62 cm
Watercolor on Paper
The photo of the injured boy from Aleppo emotionally affected me because of his innocence. I want to start a conversation with people and show that refugees are people too who used to have everything but lost it all because they were innocently involved in the war. The symmetrical balance, blocked-off silhouettes of refugees escaping their hometown, and one-point perspective creates emphasis on Omran, the boy from Aleppo, to show the innocent kids who get caught in wars but represents the innocence we have left in the world. I used dark values and red overtones to convey the anguish, suffering, and loss that happens in the war.

Dance
40 x 60 cm
Digital Media
Charis Tsevis’ work for the Olympics was my inspiration for Dance because of the dynamic use of geometric shapes. The composition of my artwork is asymmetrically balanced, and my focal point is on the left side. I tried to show movement by tilting my subject and geometric shapes to the right. The colors in the background have bright values on the left while desaturating and becoming darker in value as they go to the right. The movement in the artwork guides the viewer’s eyes from the subject to the background, but the use of angular shapes helps bring the attention back to the dancer.

Faire L’Ascension
110 x 70 cm
Oil Painting
Faire L’Ascension takes another perspective of Jacques-Louis David’s work, Oath of the Horatii. Rather than focusing on masculinity, the painting portrays the inner strength and independence of women. Caravaggio’s Baroque work inspired me to concentrate significantly on chiaroscuro and realistic human form. I incorporated elements and principles of art and design such as colours, values, emphasis, unity and contrast to depict the attention on the standing women, a sense of stability and three-dimensional figures. Throughout the process, I have learned about the tonal underpainting method and became accustomed to oil painting, utilizing its characteristics in favour of completing this artwork.

Different Mind
68 x 31.5 cm
Digital Media
This artwork is a visual representation of someone’s mind. The design is mostly in symmetry but differentiated by light and dark values. The contrast in two-sides of the face is also set by different components of design where I have used straight lines as a barrier to the dark side and a curved line for the light side. The round shapes of the floating images represent the person’s memory. The images are shifted towards the light side to portray the good memories.

Handmanship
48.5 x 59 cm
Digital Media
I wanted to create a rustic piece inspired by daguerreotype photography. I chose the wood surface as the texture brought an old feeling to it as well as it emphasizes the photograph. Connecting modern manufacturing with photography while using wood as a surface associating it with what a gong means, a symbol of Sabah’s traditional music. I took a photograph in a kampong deep in Sabah’s forest in Sarawak, Malaysia. The artwork was created by applying the printed photo to wood with acrylic gel. Once it dried, I dampened the paper and rubbed it off the wood, transferring the photograph.

Lonesome Bballin
39.6 x 59.4 cm
Digital Media on Photoshop
Lonesome Bballin, represents a time in my life when I learned alone through repetition, how to play basketball. I used orange color against a blue/gray background to emphasise the repeated figure in the foreground. Shapes that lean and repeated color create a pattern and also movement from left to right. The organic forms of leaves in the background against the cement walls also shows contrast. While capturing the original RAW files, I had to find the combination of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO to make sure the images were sharp, well positioned, and with enough contrast to using in the composite digital artwork.

Unknown
3:10 mins.
Film
"Unknown" is inspired by the concept of German Expressionism and the visualization of the film is influenced by Robert Wiene’s film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”. “Unknown” portrays the fear of uncertainty and the unceasing fear of death. The film expresses the unavoidable existence of fear within human nature and the result of greater consequences when one is conquered by fear. The ideas of the shots and general theme interprets the techniques and style of German Expressionism: utilizing similar color scheme, camera angle and shot compositions, featuring similar expressions such as low key contrast, value contrast, and the use of tint and shade that overlay some significant scenes to convey a deeper meaning.
