Work of art I would like to make
I aim to create a body of art work concerning differences in my Eastern culture with Western culture in the United Kingdom. I would like the tone of this work to have dark humour so that it appears conversational and observational instead of being critical and judgemental. Aspects of British culture I plan to comment on include the British drinking culture, where some people have a sense of pride in their ability to get drunk; people’s closeness to animal species and the way they treat their pets; dining formalities such as trying to minimise chewing sounds and British sporting traditions where sport such as football can almost become a religion. Additionally I plan to create some work that relates to my past experiences of misinterpreting spoken or written English language and dialects which has led me to believing certain words or phrases meant something completely different from their true meaning. A particular example of this would include Glaswegian women referring to each other as ‘hen’, also british culture as well as the language misunderstanding. As I have created work with dark humour about my native Chinese culture I would like to produce work with a similar punchy tone about life in the U.K.
For outcome of this project i would like to product a series of prints or drawings. |
