Monique Leyton的艺术课

奇象艺术国际艺术家课程

美国艺术家Monique Leyton的艺术课将在本月22日下午举办。

地点：朝阳路万科中心

Kuhl and Leyton invite you to join them in considering spectacles of power, spectacles of crime, spectacles of tragedy, celebrity and hilarity. Images carefully removed from the shelves of public consciousness to be replicated, to be mapped, to be rearranged, to be hallucinated. Images sometimes in wild color and sometimes in the rigid focus of two tones. Images that hide questions behind a cavalcade of faces and forms. Images that may explode. 

库尔和莱顿邀请你加入他们的行列，一起思考权力、犯罪、悲剧、名人和欢闹。从公众意识的架子上小心地移走的图像被复制，被映射，被重新排列，被幻觉。图像有时是野生的颜色，有时在两个音调的刚性焦点。在一连串的面孔和形式背后隐藏问题的图像。可能爆炸的图像。

Monique Leyton grew up in Miami, Florida and attended DASH, the Design and Architecture Senior High School. At university I studied printmaking and drawing at Cornell University. I began working with tape while studying abroad in Cornell’s art department in Rome, Italy. Me and my art partner have been working together making art in tape for over ten years. 

莫妮卡·莱顿(Monique Leyton)在佛罗里达州迈阿密长大，就读于设计与建筑高级中学DASH。在大学里，我在康奈尔大学学习版画和绘画。我在意大利罗马康奈尔大学艺术系留学时开始接触磁带。我和我的艺术合作伙伴一起制作胶带艺术已经超过十年了。

The artwork is narrative art. That means telling a story. So I find out about something that happened and I do research about that story. What happened? Where did this happen? Who was part of the story? When did this happen? Can I answer the why this happened or can I ask this question to the audience? As art artist I want you to think about the work. I balance serious stories with fun bright colors. This makes us think about the unusual relation a ship between color and what the work is about. 

艺术作品是叙事艺术。这意味着讲一个故事。所以我发现了一些事情，我做了关于这个故事的研究。发生了什么事?这是在哪里发生的?谁是故事的一部分?这是什么时候发生的?我能回答为什么会发生这样的事情吗?或者我能向观众提问这个问题吗?作为艺术艺术家，我想让你们思考一下作品。我把严肃的故事和有趣的明亮的色彩平衡起来。这让我们思考颜色和作品之间不同寻常的关系。
