About The Artwork

The Artists explore the opposites, such as yin & yang, war & peace, love & hate, rich & poor, life & death. This work has been inspired by the film “Mary Poppins” 1964 and the scene “Chalk Drawing Scene” available on YouTube, see last images. This particular work deals with the contrast between the “West v East" ends of London, highlighted in Blue, Orange, and Yellow for “West” and in contrast with Black for “East”, also inspired by the Weather Vine of “West” & “East” in the film. The "West" End of London has high-end places such as Mayfair, Chelsea, and Knightsbridge, while the "East" End contrasts with Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Mile End etc. This work has been inspired by program “Work of Art: The Next Great Artist” which is an American reality competition show in which up-and-coming Artists compete for a Solo Show at the Brooklyn Museum. In Series 1 Episode 8 “Opposites Attract” the Artists are to make a work of art based on opposites such as, heaven & hell, male & female, order & chaos. (available on youtube) This painting is a piece of Conceptual Art, that follows a sequence or order, with ASCII Text (Alphabetical Letters) that represents a secret message in Binary Code. An infill square of colours indicates 1 in Binary Code, and 0 when infill is left blank white and spells the words "West v East" (inverted) in Binary Code.

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.
