Power in Different Aspects

I have created five artwork: assemblage, two paintings both using canvas but one is a Triptych, and two sculptures. All these five artworks have one connection which is Power. Power in several aspects. Abuse of power, using an animal to symbolize power, showing that power does not always come straightly but you would have to work for it. The usage of power in an equal way is also going to be shown. There would also be how objects can symbolise power and lastly what power looks in my eyes. Choosing to make an assemblage for me would be the best option, because Assemblage is something someone can touch, that someone can see with their own two eyes that it’s 3D not 2D. Making the Lion as a sculpture would best define the detail I want to present to the audience and the Lion itself. Cardboard has been chosen for the costume design, because I wanted to make an armor with a material that was easy to band and make it any shape. The Triptych I have chosen to use oil paint and acrylic, because for the canvas in the middle needs a lot of bleeding and detail, and oil paint dries slowly and has a much thicker consistency. For the other canvas the one on top and the bottom I used acrylic paint, because I did not need any blending and I needed the certain section to try faster so I would be able to work on the next section. For the Artwork Object, I have chosen to work with acrylic because the painting didn't need a lot of blending. The way I have decided to display my Artwork is in a particular way which is like a timeline. The sculpture of the lion is in the center of all the artwork that has been made. This is because I want to show where all things began. Then the next one would be the painting with guns to show the timeline of weapons that was used over the years for War to make humans more powerful of what those objects can do. The next would be the assemblage that is to show the timeline again after the War and the today's life and it's also connected to WWII. The next one would be The triptych and the armor would be the next, this both artwork will represent the future.

(The Assemblage will not be shown in this exhibition)

Objects

Acrylic on Canvas

Objects are paintings of objects that symbolizes power or it symbolizes power because when people have it in their hands they become or feel powerful. The painting shows what objects that make people have a powerful through in history. The guns show the present and the future, the swords show the past. In the middle of the painting there is a light bulb, this is to show that objects that resemble power come from ideas that humans made.

The King Of All

Ceramics

This lion sculpture is created with air dry clay. And the fur of the lion is from the stuffed animal that has been taken from. The lion doesn’t look like what a normal lion look like because that was done on purpose, such as the white fur for the lion head, normally lion as a more orange color for both the fur of the head and the body but I made the lion to have a white fur and yellow body because this lion need to stand out, out in the audience eyes. For me a lion symbolizes power because a lion is the king of the animal. To be a lion always looks like the king of everything. The look that they have is very fierce looking. And the crack on the lion’s body is to symbolise that power doesn’t just come startling from birth but someone needs to earn power, they need to make their way up from the bottom to the top. The tusk is just to make the lion look stronger than other animals.
