テイ・トウワさんのインスタグラム写真 - (テイ・トウワInstagram)「@ryantravischristian !congrats for the hk show🎊🎉✨#repost @sashabogojev ・・・ Working his way through a continuously busy schedule, packed back-to-back with international group showings, @ryantravischristian managed to make his Asian solo debut that opened today @ @oti.official a standout presentation • Unsure if it was the inability to travel or his sheer determination, but after showing mostly small scale charcoals on paper, Here Comes The Rooster introduces a whole series of bigger scale works on paper, and for the first time, a small series of oils on canvas. "It felt great, very liberating," the artist told me about how this change felt for him. "I've been sitting in a chair hunched over a drawing table working on small things forever. So it was really great to stand, move around a bit, ya know? I figured, let's up the scale a bit and mess around with some new mediums while I'm at it (charcoal/ oil paints)." • Staying true to his signature black and white imagery that is directly inspired by his suburban-Chicago surroundings, the works are successfully utilizing the unrestrained cartoon aesthetic and (lack of) logic to speak of everyday affairs. Politics, drugs, pandemic, and the contemporary life of suburban America, are some of the subjects that #RyanTravisChristian is commenting on through a witty and humorous use of anthropomorphism. While this is the ongoing and proven formula for the artists, aside from the shift in scale the body of work introduces a more focused approach to constructing the image • Backed up with an accomplished technique, the images switch from pitch-black explosions to silk-soft surfaces and everything in between. Yet, confident about the use of his signature technique, Christian is embracing the occasional messiness to accent the subjects he is talking about. Constructing the illusion of dynamic or transparency by incorporating the rough and residual marks into the image, he is metaphorically referencing the current mess of the world around him • Photos via #overtheinfluence」9月3日 16時32分
