ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Modern Art is Rubbish! The Three Musketeers This work has been inspired by a television programme aired earlier this year “Who’s Afraid of Conceptual Art?” (see below) and the work by Martin Creed work No. 88 “A Sheet of A4 paper crumpled into a ball” (1995) Martin Creed Link: Instead of representing a “Ball” I am representing the “Human Body” in the form of a paper “Ball” The Three Musketeers is made of three identical sizes of A3 Paper, hand crumpled by the Artist But my Child could have made that? Yes, But he/she didn’t and wouldn’t be able to recreate the work. In the work I’m exploring “Identity” of the Artist, and Finger Prints are unique to me, and are contained in sweat particles, when I create the work, crumpling, I leave Finger Prints on the Paper, so No, you Child would Not be able to recreate this! The below is the text in the Artist Blog () The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) has launched mini-series programmes on television exploring “Conceptual Art” on BBC4 in the UK. The programme was aired yesterday and is entitled “Who’s Afraid of Conceptual Art?”. The majority of my work is based around the Concept (or Idea), and I thought I share the link below, as it gives a useful insight introduction into Conceptual Art. Some may say that Conceptual Art maybe pretentious to the untrained eye, as it can be difficult to understand, to the outsider, but the majority have a concept or idea behind each work, that once you understand the logic behind it becomes easier to understand. The introduction is useful as explains that Art has moved on from traditional arts and now includes objects, such as ready-mades, and anything could be classified as Art by the Artist today. It highlights a few of my favourite Artists, that have inspired my work, Martin Creed, Marcel Duchamp, Michael-Craig Martin, Sol LeWitt, Robert Montgomery. Who’s Afraid of Conceptual Art? Martin Creed work No. 88 “A Sheet of A4 paper crumpled into a ball” (1995) is the first Artwork shown the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84K1_yptwHs Limited Edition 1 of 10 on A3 Paper

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.
