Hijacked- Hayley Welsh and Andy Faraday

Hijacked

Verb. having taken control or to take possession thereof 

#hijackyourlife

FINALLY! Exams are over and the first thing that came into my mind from the moment i walked out of that examination room was: 'NEED TO THREAD MY EYEBROWS, NOW!'. And for those who are in Perth, i must say that the service of 'Zubias Threading'  is definitely better in Carousel compared to Garden City, as the staff members really take their time to understand your brows rather than just making it 'clean'. I am so glad and content to have a new pair of threaded brows as i am typing this post regarding Hayley Welsh and Andy Faraday's unique collaboration called: 'Hijacked'. 

 Inside 'The Koolroom', an urban underground venue dedicated to artists to showcase their pieces, was filled with whimsical paintwork of both artists with a combination of mediums including installation, projections, photography, street art and live paint! Here are some photos that i have taken via my iphone:

details of exhibition 

In my opinion, 'Love' and 'Fear' are the two main key words in this exhibition. The tone of the environment was also set out to create a rather 'lost' but yet calm feeling for audiences to relate to the hidden message behind each art pieces. Work such as ' Trust Love' and 'Through the wrong end of the telescope...' are perhaps suggesting individuals to enjoy the wonder of childhood and to overcome fear through 'trusting love' again. 

I personally really like how the big but yet tamed creature is hiding behind a tree, peeping at the fragile little fluffy character secretively in the composition of 'Through the wrong end of the telescope...'. To me, the bigger creature is a metaphor of our little voices inside our heads, whispering and guiding us throughout our youthful lives as an explorer. So take control and 'hijack' your life, get out of your comfort zone and don't be afraid of making mistakes x

my interpretation of 'Ape' 

the last time i analyzed an art piece was during my HSC Art examinations in 2013 where i tried of find the most insignificant element in the art piece and make it sound rather deep to simply please the examiner, hoping for a decent score.  

However, 'Ape' is one of those piece where i could relate and easily describe in one sentence : everything we see in life is seemingly just an image of what individuals want to be portrayed as, it may be true but always remember to keep your heart guarded because even the apes know that human beings are hurtful creatures . 

so close your eyes and always follow what your heart says , not just what your eyes see.

street art is one step further than fine art and vandalism.

(This post contains a large amount of animated GIF, hence please do be a lil patient as it takes time for them to load (: thanks x )

Erdal Inci

Erdal Inci lives and produces his works including filmmaking, graffiti art and photography in Istanbul, Turkey. Over the past few years, Inci became well known for his GIFs posted online where he 'clones sections of video to create hypototic animated loops'. 

Above all are some of my favorite pieces by Inci and i am no doubt still amaze of all the unconventional way of producing Gifs that Inci has discovered and created.

here are some links to connect with Erdal Inci, and please do 'follow' or 'like' such pages to show some love (:

Philipp Igumnov

i immediately felt obliged to dedicate a post to Philipp Igumnov, a Moscow based artist, when i was browsing through flicker profiles aimlessly on a typical friday evening. his interesting profile name - woodcum, is filled with numerous whimsical and dreamlike illustrations, collages and also photography that shouts out 'MAGIC' to the audiences, or just me.
elements and objects are seemingly minimal in all of his composition but if you put a lil bit more effort in breathing the artist's air and perspective, you will soon discover hidden messages and perhaps some 'humor of the dark kind' in all his master pieces x 

BANKSY

“Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place.

 Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.”

-Banksy

this is by far my favorite street art by Bansky.
