ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work has been inspired by the previous work “Circus Creatures: Venus Flys Trap”, in the work the Artist refers to “Venus” the Roman Classical Goddess of Love and Beauty. The Artist found a similar named painting “Toilet of Venus” or “The Rockeby Venus” by the Spanish Artist, Diego Velazquez (1599-1660) which depicts a nude painting Venus with Cupid holding a mirror. (see last image) “Toilet of Venus” sounds similar to the perfume or cologne “Eau de Toilet”, and the Artist has used this for inspiration for Spray Can series of works. The Artist has rotated the Spray Can in the Landscape from in keeping with “Toilet of Venus” painting and coloured the Spray Can in skin tone colours of “Venus” with Pink Lettering and Spray to suggest Pink Lipstick of “Venus”. The Label of the Spray Can colour is Silver to represent the Silver reflective qualities of the "Mirror" “Vincent da Vinci’s Signature Spray” refers to his Brand name, similar to other Celebrities Branded merchandise of Perfume or Cologne range of products, such as “Signature” by Celine Dion or Christina Aguilera. The Artist is suggesting that the “Signature” of the Artist, is just as important as the Product itself. One aspect of Conceptual Art, is where the Artist explores his Identity, and the “Signature” of an Artist, is part of his identity.

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.
