My third and last installation for "THE GODS ARE CRYING" series is Jesus Christ. Jeremiah 14:17 where God speaks of shedding "tears day and night" for the "daughter of my people" . Jesus wept over the grave of Lazarus, and he wept over the city of Jerusalem. Jesus felt the dark absence of God when he cried, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34) I believe such a God cries over a broken world and cries with all of us. The Chinese incense papers that dotted the background of this painting were stamped with crosses. The crown of thorn, similarly, was collaged using Chinese Gold incense paper. I injected these asian elements into the work to represent the possibility of one identity between Guan Yin and Jesus, whom both are the ultimate embodiment of love and compassion for the human mankind. Coincidentally, Guan Yin was born the day before Christ rose to new life. Materials used: ACRYLIC, METALLIC GOLD PAINT, CHINESE INCENSE PAPER, HUMAN HAIR, UV PROTECTIVE SATIN 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
