Inspired by the romantic film Dirty Dancing (1987) and the song I’ve had the time of my life. This features Frances Baby Houseman (Jennifer Grey) on vacation at a Holiday Resort during the Summer of 1963, where she meets the dance instructor Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) for dance lessons. This is set in the last scene of the film where Johnny utters the famous line Nobody puts Baby in the Corner! and takes Baby out of the corner to perform the last of the season song together to the song I’ve Had the Time of my Life. On stage, there is a backdrop of a vertical whiteboard with dark spaces, similar to the vertical cage in the other works, inverted for this work. Baby runs off stage and jumps into the arms of Johnny, where he lifts her into the iconic balanced pose, featured in this work. He lifts Baby out of the Four Corners of the cage (referred to as the Corner in the film) into the air. In other words, in the Yo-Yo Project, I’m concerned with balance, and Baby is holding onto a Yo-Yo in the foreground. By holding the Yo-Yo this creates an additional balanced object, just like Baby is balancing in the arms of Johnny, and I’m suggesting uneasiness, that they may tip the balance by falling into the arms of Johnny or may have to make a leap of faith outside the cage! Johnny is standing on a Disco Dance floor, gridded into squares, and represents a secret message in Binary Code. An infill square of either, Blue, Red, or Yellow indicates a 1 in the Binary Code, such that from left to right it will display a Letter from the Alphabet and form words. Also, inspired by the Disco dance floor lights of the 1970s and the later work of Angela Bulloch. The upper Birds have been included from my previous work Tug of War & Peace (2015) which depicts two Doves (Birds) pulling on an Olive Branch with the word Peace.

UK-based Vinci Art is a Conceptual Artist and Post Pop Artist best known for his abstract use of repetitive vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines superimposed with four-letter words forming a playable word search “The idea or concept [Conceptual Art] is the most important aspect of the work, and I use any medium [painting, digital, printmaking or sculpture] to convey the idea to the piece of Fine Art” The Artist is interested in the interaction between opposites, yin & yang, war & peace, love & hate, rich & poor, and life & death. The Artist juxtaposes these contrasts with the innocent of Toys and Games used in our youth. His most recent body of work Style Series is influenced by De Stijl after Piet Mondrian [1872-1944]. De Stijl is Dutch for "The Style", also known as Neoplasticism was a Dutch art movement. De Stijl advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; they simplified visual compositions to vertical and horizontal, using only black, white, and primary colours. His previous body of work includes the "Berry Series" influenced by textiles and cloth of “Plaid” or tartan one of the most widely used patterns in history. The work used a combination of vertical stripes and horizontal stripes with transparency to the underlayer. The stripes follow a sequence or order from dark to light, known as Conceptual Art The previous body of work includes "Flags of the World" which communicates with viewers through linguistics, semiotics, and cryptography. The series includes English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and American Flags superimposed with four-letter words of their respective language forming a playable word search from A to Z. His previous works include, "Retro Celebrity Stars", which is a homage to celebrities of our past from the films of the Hollywood Golden Era, to the present day. Every one of these individuals helped create the world we live in today, and though we know their names, their actual images might be fading from our memory. "Disasters of War", is a homage to Heroes and Villains from World War I & II, by the use of humorous and tongue-in-cheek language to explore the more serious issues of the past to the present day. Heroes and Villains are portrayed in life, death, and immortality by the use of toys of our innocent youth. The toys are used as a satirical look at the “Disasters of Wars” revealing shock and truths of war and violence in a playful way.
