Proposal for Creative Project

Made by Yirui Zhu

Through appropriation and reproduction, I intend to create a piece of artwork to show my disapproval attitude toward the heavy influence of commercialism and consumerism in people's life.

Intention:

I want to place people or objects into a different time space and imagine what would happen. Anachronism is fascinating because it generates more possibilities. Thus, I plan to recreate a classical Western oil painting, which name is Gabrielle d'Estrées et une de ses soeurs, in a modern context. Classical oil paintings are realistic, serious and function as documenting people’s daily life in the past.  Through my recreational piece, I imagine how the life of those two women would change when they come to the modern age. I aim at giving their life a brand-new interpretation. I also plan to put Wassily Kandinsky's Composition series into my painting. The abstract patterns could serve as blurring the timeline.
