Johnson Tsang

Everyone is all familiar with that feeling when you are somewhere on a very delicately thin line between envy and jealousy.Well, if after seeing Johnson Tsang's works, you feel the same, then welcome to the club! 

Tsang is a Hong Kong born artist obsessed with clay and he brings it into life in the most unexpected and out of the ordinary way. Though some of the work seem so cute at first, after a deeper contemplation and digestion, you realize his message is no chocolate-box. His surrealist imagination leaves the viewer in a miscellaneous state of wondering whether;

'Oh, this is so adorable (?)',

'Oh, this is so depressive(?),

'Oh, this is so polished (?), etc...

                                                                   "Kiss of Eternity"

The splashing ceramics are one of a kind knockout white objects all with a novel style.

"Storm in my Bowl"

Tsang is an avant-garde artist maturing his own technique with every exhibition, not to mention his reverent stardom both at home and abroad showcased with a profusion of awards.

                                                                      "Open Mind"

For me the most attracting part is that he has that child-like playfulness and a very sleek design at the same time. I would definitely love to own one of his masterpieces . Or maybe two of them.. Perhaps three or more...

I want them all.

                                                                 "Talking to Me"

If you couldn't get enough of of his work, then scroll through his blog images.

Bask in you guys!

Bugun gunlerden Andrew Wyeth... Now wait! This used to be a blog in English once upon a time (exactically a year ago). There goes a bit of self-criticism for abandoning my fellow readers for quite a very, very, very, very long time.. Anyhow, doesn't it feel good to be a blog-backster! ( Oh, yes! It does.) 

Andrew Wyeth was an American realist painter (1917-2009) by whom I was intrigued while going through loads of works by loads of artists, trying to choose the most awe inspiring one to write my paper on, back in 'the graduate' days of mine... And the moment I saw his work, I was literally spellbound!

 In a career spinning throughout a seventy-year period, he painted landscape, objects and inhabitants of his own neighborhood.

His most famous painting; Christina's World (1948) has become an essential part of American popular culture. Set in a barren landscape, it was an everyday image that inspired Wyeth deeply and resulted in the depiction of young woman who had unfortunately been robbed of the use of her legs. Here she is: 

Perhaps it is the colors, or the fact that she is leaning towards home, or that pink dress she has on... I don't know what, but for me it always is a sublime comfort to get lost in this painting. 

Take a look at some more of his work as I am pinning my hopes on the possibility of you guys sharing the euphoria with me: 

As for the reason why I quoted Monsieur Montaigne at the top is; we all feel a bit lost, futile, unavailing, etc. sometimes for, life gets in the way. But there is actually no reason for that, because we are all the opposite of this pessimistic perspective.

Here is a little gift for y'all. I dedicate this post, this song and a very fragile piece of my heart to my alluringly naive friend whom I know is still smiling from high above the clouds.

Now press play and feel fruitful. Cheers..
