ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Guanyin is an East Asian spiritual figure of mercy, and a bodhisattva associated with compassion as venerated by Mahayana Buddhists. The name Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin (觀世音) which means "Perceiving the Sounds (or Cries) of the World". This is the second piece of work for "THE GODS ARE CRYING" collection. Guanyin is revered in the general Chinese population due to her unconditional love and compassion. She is also seen as a fertility goddess capable of granting children to couples. Guanyin is also seen as the champion of the unfortunate, the sick, the disabled, the poor, and those in trouble. In this painting Guanyin is wrapped in intricate black (a color which the Chinese deemed unauspicious) and gold floral motif satin to reflect the ominious state of the world today. Thus Guanyin cries. Medium used for this painting - Acrylic, metallic paint, crayon and UV protective varnish

"I believe I was created to create. If you stop dreaming - you die." . I was an Art student in High School but pursuing Art as a career was frown upon by society and family. I was told to stop dreaming! I worked in a corporate world. I was sad. Strangley , after 20 years, life came full circle, I was working in LASALLE College of the Arts. I am now creating Art everyday. I am happy. The medium I use are acrylic mix with oil, crystal resin, sand gel, paper, gold flakes, chinese ink and even nail polish. I love to experiment and push boundaries. I am very much influenced by Austrian artist Voka, who coined the term Spontaneous Realism to describe the dynamic creative process of his representational and impressionistic imagery. The explosive colours and energetic brushwork in his paintings describe familiar images in a personal manner. My works are generally conceptual, impressionistic, provocative – some even controversial. I am experimental, and like pushing boundaries. I like to capture the energy and exuberance of my surroundings with rich and vibrant colours, and document dynamic compositions with bold brush strokes. The sheer anticipation of translating my emotions and ideas onto a white canvas are both exciting and agonising! I absolutely enjoy being lost in this uncertain journey of timeless space filled with possibilities. I do not deliberately try to advocate controversial issues with shocking images through my works. Art should not be sensationalized. Rather, art should comfort the disturbed, and disturb those in comfort. I believe art can communicate what words cannot. I want visitors to say, “I am glad I came”, after visiting The Tiffin Gallery. Enjoy and have a great day ahead!!! Love, Danny Raven TAN
