About The Artwork

This is a combination of previous works (see below), in this work I'm exploring the Balance of Celebrity Stars, by balancing one another off each other, and offering support. This is first inspired by Baby & Johnny in Dirty Dancing when they preform the final song, and by inverting Elvis Presley, which resembles a Hand-Stand. Although this would be extremely difficult to preform in reality, I think it makes for an interesting composition. Balancing of Objects or Figures, is a recurring theme that I have explored in other works, such as work, "War on Terror: You was supposed to bring Balance to the Force, Not Destroy It! (2012)" I have left the top & bottom Disco Floors, in order to make the work reversible, so that either Baby & Johnny (first image) or Elvis can be displayed (second image). Works included in this work, "...because you're Gorgeous...nobody puts Baby-Bird in the Corner!", “Rock n Roll Star”, “10 Year Itch” & "Fun at the Fun Fair!", and has been inspired by the films with Jennifer Grey & Patrick Swayze in “Dirty Dancing (1987)", Elvis Presley in "Jailhouse Rock (1957)", Marilyn Monroe in "Seven Year Itch (1955)" and Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta in "Grease (1978)". For clarity I've removed the cages, and doves from above, in these previous works, and combined them to form a new work. The two of the four Artists (Baby & Johnny, & Elvis Presley) are standing on a Disco Dance-floor, 8 by 8 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 forms words. I have been inspired by simple outline drawings, in thick ink, with infill textures, and comic text, such as the work by Roy Lichtenstein, Michael Craig-Martin and Julian Opie, Angela Bulloch.

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.
