Celebrity Painting

If you want to see how the paintings are being made, follow @asiaodkasi or Joanna M Dziedzianowicz on Instagram. InstaStory updated every Wednesday. In detail my own artistic practice was inspired by the creation of Brazilian artist - born in Belo Horizonte - Lygia Clark. This female artist was a main subject of the exhibition carried out in the Zacheta National Art Gallery. However I am going to refer to her person, not to her artworks. I am using Clark's image in my work as a symbol of female-artist. Despite the Brazilian influences I am also referring to my own experience and period when I was studying at the Faculty of Fine arts in Lisbon. The paintings present different situations explaining how I imagine the possibility of road life for the women painter. I take too important aspects of perception of woman-artist by society and placing her in a specific social hierarchy. On the first plan there is a won - artist again Lygia Clark. Her outfit was inspired by different Brazilian artist Carmen Miranda. Carmen Miranda was a Portuguese Brazilian samba singer, dancer, Broadway actress, and film star who was popular from the 1930s to the 1950s also in the United States. I want to ask viewer if there is a difference in promoting a singer and a visual artist? Do they both have to represent themselves for the public? Can a painter stay anonymous and being recognized only from her artwork instead of her appearance? Is she always going to be "associated" with the image that she created in the way as the jewelry is owinięta wokół jeu szyji i ark niczym kajdany. Her face is much lighter than her hands and neck - here I want to bring attention to fact that in social media darker skin then North European's standards is always lightened. An example of such an artists are Mexican actresses as Selena Gomez who in commercial productions have always put on lightening makeup. Another example is a singer Beyonce Knowles who owe the years appears with different skin color on pictures. Another aspect of having your face recognized by common people is exposed on the second plan. This is a very negative/sad example of being famous and being recognizable. On the second plan is painted the embassy of the USA in Moscow. American and Russian flags are placed on the building. On the day of fifty-sixth birthdays of American Democratic Party Current President Barack Obama, anonymous people screened on the facade of the embassy building a video animation. The video was presenting Mr. Presiden's head with birthday's hat eating a banana together with sentence "Happy Birthday Mr. Obama" The authors of this racist video used only few lines to construct Mr. Obamas' face.
