simulacra series
(unfinished version)
Something in you, something in me.
Deep in my musing, threads of my yearning, My conforming.
They do!, do they? they do define me.
Whats left of me? Vanity! clearly, reverie...
Living in Japan myself, this artwork reminds me of those transgendered theatre actors. The work is very real. The one in the front on the right reminds me of a transgendered japanese enka singer named Kenji Mikawa. The camel/human-like character in the picture is very real-like. Good work.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Ms. Kurono! :) the character on the middle is a "TIKBALANG" of the Philippine Mythos, its a part horse- part man. Thanks again!
Very expressive painting - I admire how you've succeed in creating the tragedy and irony in the same picture. I think you're right - there IS something about me as a viewer too... :-) Splendid work!
Artist Reply: Thanks! its a piece for my on-going thesis research, thanks for appreciating it!
