(plate 1)
(plate 2)
Richardson Magazine returns with Issue A4, featuring its guiding theme on the feminine take on sex and pornography as well as gender issues. At this point, I would like to focus on plate 1 on the image of it itself, which triggered my inspiration somehow. The placement of 'A4' on the female body recalled myself to think of nudity as a subject for art.
A picture provokes thousands words and there is no such term as 'just looking'.
We see things because we have all seek to know.
Even when I look at blank page of a sketchbook, I'm not looking just at 'whiteness' of a page but further beyond that. It sounds strange but the emptiness of it excites me whenever I buy/start a new page of a empty page. As art itself can be viewed differently by different person, this can be effected by their different culture and backgrounds, whether they understand the true meaning beneath the art piece or not, any piece of art will provoke questions of morality. The question of which argument is right or wrong is never be solved. Especially, since nude art is the most traditional subject used in Art history, it is inevitable to acknowledge that we need to know more deeply into the subject before we even talk about Nude in art. However, rather than going deep into history and how nudity in art has changed from books, I thought about just to think of Nude as 'subject' for inspiration like any other object we find for our inspirations.
- What if we don't feel any desires(eg. sexual) when we look at ourselves naked?
- What would happen if we have been naked like any other animals?
- What would it be like to have no artificial tools around us?
- How can it be translated into just as an object for inspiration visually?
- By twisting my questions, what if nude body turns into a canvas and something else to be an inspiration instead?
