ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Medusa is the definition of Italian fashion house Versace and its very essence. Mixtures of fabrics, colors, and muses... Even when she doesn’t show up, her spirit is still there. According to the founder, Medusa incarnates fatal passion. Both Medusa and Gianni Versace are UNDEAD - one is a Greek myth, the other a fashion legend. I have long admired Gianni's ornate design and ostentatious style in the 80s. My close encounter with the brand was surreal - when I was 35yo, I applied for the position, regional merchandising manager , in the Versace Group and was shortlisted. Unfortunately, Gianni was murdered shortly at his Miami home, after my interview. The position I applied for was shelved as the Versace fashion empire was in a state of chaos without the head designer. Several years later, I was toying with the idea of marrying the property development company I was working with and the Versace brand to develop a one of a kind fashion hotel. The budgeting of the proposed hotel inventory was tedious and I gave up working on it - this idea died in me. In 2000, I read in the newspaper one morning - Australia's Palazzo Versace Queensland , the world's first fashion-branded hotel, came to live. I was stunned. The little RED pom pom in this piece of work represents my burning passion for Arts, and how life can, sometimes, have its magical moments like Rudolph the red nose reindeer. Wax is dripped over the signature on the painting as a sign of respect to the deceased. The Versace brand will always have a special place in my heart. Goodnight Gianni! ;-) Materials used: ACRYLIC PAINT, PON PON, METALLIC PAINT, CHINESE INK, MODELLING CLAY, UV 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
