荷兰艺术家Super A推出了一系列新的绘画和雕塑作品,探索幻想背后的真相,将流行文化人物切割开来,审视其核心所在的现实。特威蒂、米老鼠、白雪公主,甚至麦当劳叔叔,这些被困的人物形象就像丝带一样展开,真实地展现了被困在里面的鸟、老鼠和人。该系列旨在通过容易理解的漫画来解决我们对现实的扭曲认知,表明在我们日常的世界观中是不可能有客观性的。人们总是使用某种特定的镜头,神话掩盖了残酷的事实。Super A说:“如今,我们所信奉的最主要的神话是自由、财产和个人主义,它们是真理的温暖遮盖。我们倾向于把这些绝对客观的真理视为最符合全人类利益的真理。”但我们不是被困在舒适的现实中吗?如果它很舒适,我们还敢打破它吗?Super A已经在多个展览中展出了该系列的作品。
Netherlands-based artist Super A (previously here and here) has a new series of painting and sculpture that explores the truth behind fantasy, slicing through pop culture figures to examine the reality that lays at their core. Trapped features characters such as Tweety, Mickey Mouse, Snow White and even Ronald McDonald as their recognizable features unfurl like ribbons, revealing realistically formed birds, mice, and people caught inside.The series intends to address our skewed perception of reality through easily digestible cartoons, demonstrating that there can be no objectivity when it comes to our daily view of the world. A certain lens is always employed, a myth disguises the harsh truths.“Nowadays the most dominant myths we have embraced as an warm blanket of truth are liberty, property and individualism,said Super A. “We tend to see these as absolute objective truths which suit the best interests of all humanity. But aren’t we just trapped within our cozy reality? And if it’s cozy… Should we even dare to break free?”Super A has shown works from the series in a variety of exhibitions. The Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck paintings were recently shown at Vertical Gallery's group exhibition Portrait, Tweety is on view at Pow! Wow! Exploring the New Contemporary Art Movement curated by Thinkspace Gallery at the Honolulu Museum of Art, and Snow White and Pierrot will be shown at an upcoming exhibition with Galerie Droste.“Pierrot,2018. 65 cm x 60 cm x 30 cm.
