Final Shophouse

Layout's been changed so you can view previous entries....



Guess I shall talk a bit more about my Shophouse...hope it's not too late.

(After checking BlackBoard)

Oh..it's not...1 more day....hurhur~My artist...Fernando Botero.

Currently in his early hundreds he is around his late 80s.


He is a painter and ex-sculptor....now he doesn't do sculptures anymore...pretty understandable...I did sculpturing in secondary school once...it was a real pain in the butt...but this is not about me...so I shall go back to Botero.
An example of one of his painting....


First thing that really grabbed my attention about his works is that....the human figures are all very fat...like F A T !

Now I just looks like I am discriminating fat people...but I am not...

Well...exaggerated is a better word unless he was painting a bunch of Americans who have MacDonalds as their staple diet.



Next thing was the organic shapes that they have...their roundness.


And than was the mocking of logic...The bird...actually the concept of mockery of logic is mainly because of this bird...because this bird having such a big body will probably not be able to fly anymore...and that bird is obviously not a flightless bird.

You can actually see that sculpture by the Singapore River....I have seen others during my secondary school days....pretty interesting.

My shophouse Interior.....

So for my shophouse...the 3 concepts were implemented...and the video shall do all the talking...





Well the video isn't technically speaking but you get it....

My creation on Monday...

It's 5 to 6 paper glued together


It's a bus-stop...well...according to me it is....to you it could be an Art Museum or a Shopping Center....whatever you like....it could even be just papers....Oooooo~~~

How it works as a bus-stop?...Go ask SMRT how a bus stop works...that's how this will work.
It's really just random sticking here and there...if there's a area that can be glued together...it's glued together....and most importantly...it has to look 3-Dimensional.
Ready For Submission....Not Ready For Critique.
