I friggin love the intensity of far eastern music. Especially the strings. Call me a geek, but I have my knowledge and taste of music. In the near future I would like to attend the Japanese Philharmonic orchestra... Someone get me a ticket to Japan!!!
"Ip Man is a 2008 Hong Kong semi biographical martial arts film very loosely based on the life of Ip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun and master of Bruce Lee. The film focuses on events in Ip's life that supposedly took place in the city of Foshan during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The film was directed by Wilson Yip, and stars Donnie Yen as Ip Man, with martial arts choreography by Sammo Hung."
What really got me was the depiction of the Sino-Japanese War. I never knew that China was invaded by the Japanese. So to me building a script which combined a strong narrative with historical context was very inticing.
During this time I began preparing canvases, ready to make new work.
Beginning my first piece during this time... I wanted to create something that gave the imagery of a wolf... of some sort, a hybrid creation of mythical creatures... something that was animalistic yet aesthetically beautiful.
This developed into two wolves. One facing left, one facing right... I felt that one head wouldn't give the right balance of aesthetic due to the heavy and bold lines it carried.
I'm exploring the colour palette, combining monochrome illustrations with dashes of pastel colour here and there.
I am continuously making new samples of work, so keep your eyes opened.
