I had visited the Fotanian Open Studios at 19/1/2013. Before I visited that place, I recognized there are many artists setting up their own studio in the old building in Fotan. It was a
good chance to visit those studios. There were a lot of beautiful art works. As it aimed to open the
studios to the public and it did not have main topic for the art works. We could see a lot of types
of art works. I want to express my feeling about some impressive art works.
It is a funny art work. Although it is not a "beautiful", it is special. The artist put the film in a specific order to form a picture. It teach me that even the common things can be made to be "art".
This equipment was placed in a dark room. The plate on the projector was rotating. It produced a big rotating shadow on the wall and the room became very beautiful due to the shadow.
This art work was used the nails and the wires. It only contained the straight line in the art works, but it could also made a curve due to the straight line. This kind of picture can often be found in the maths books. It gave me a fresh feeling which is different with the picture in the book.
Before visiting the studios, my impression of art works is about the drawing, sculpture and music. After visiting some studios, I just thought about "are the typical drawings still be included in "contemporary" art? If a present artist draws a drawing which is
antiquity, how to define it?
This were the
decorations of a studio. There were some metal which the shape liked the cloud and rain.
This poster means the setting up of the studio aims to " Making art with life and life with art." The art works in the studio were also proper to the aim.
This drawing means " Study for knowledge, exam for marks." The students inside the drawing had many hands and legs. It reflects the Hong Kong students need to be all-rounder.
This drawing is about how artists earn money for their live. It is very practical topic.
This drawing is very political. It shows the
authority of the chinese government.
After visiting those studio, I have corrected my views on art. In the past, I thought art only include "drawing, music and sculpture". In fact, it is only the fine art. Art can be any forms.
