About The Artwork

Modern Art is Rubbish: Rejects Academy (RA) Earlier this year, in March 2016, I submitted two works for the “Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2016”, works “War on Terror: Liberty’s X Escape by Brooklyn Bridge” and “Disasters of War: Every Tom, Dick and Harry”, both of these works were “Rejected” by the selection committee of the Royal Academy, and was sent a “Rejection” Email, (see work of art) Although, I don’t know, and will never know, the reason for rejection, maybe due to contravening the “Terms & Conditions” by using copyright infringement, by depicting an “American Flag” in the first work of art, and in the second work by using “Underground” Logo (inverted), or to being inspired by the work of Simon Patterson “The Great Bear”, these maybe perceived as copyright of infringement, allegedly. Like other Artists before me, such as Claude Monet, John Constable, etc, who have had some time in their lives, had works “Rejected” by the selection committee of the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy, I take Great Honour that this is an Artist rite of passage to have your work “Rejected”. "As an Artist, you must first, Fail to Succeed" This work, comprises three stages, first, original “Rejection” Letter Un-crumpled, second, hand crumpled into A4 format, and third, hand crumpled into a Ball, tossed into the Rubbish Bin (or Trash Bin in the USA). At the time of purchase, please specify the form you would like, Stage 1, Un-crumpled, Stage 2, Crumpled, Stage 3 Crumpled in Ball. I am proposing to submit Stage 2, Crumpled to the RA, as Crumpled Ball is classified as a Sculpture. All Artwork will be signed and dated from “Friday 11th March 2016” as per Email, with Fingerprint identification. RA (Rejects Academy not Royal Academy) Limited Edition 1 of 25

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.
