For the new subject, I want to express the theme through painting. My first painting was done with acrylic painting, which depicts a lonely whale floating in the water alone in the vast sea. Very lonely, and my theme "cold violence" is exactly what I want to describe, because loneliness is a typical factor in the occurrence of cold violence. Loneliness is the root cause of cold violence. Therefore, this painting also takes advantage of the fact that "whales" are social animals to deduct the title. Secondly, since this topic involves the art installation, I made last semester, I think it is possible to combine painting and art installation to complete this relatively large project. I want to try different materials to choose my theme, I want to use fabric as the background, and then cover it with rose petals, and use rose petals and roses to highlight my theme. Because roses are a typical cold and violent theme element. Fallen petals represent the fall of life. My theme of cold violence is filled with such a kind of pressure, sadness, and indifference to life. So, I feel it is a very suitable way of material selection. Black velvet with blue and white or dark red petals is a color match. In terms of color matching, I prefer dark-colored fabrics with light-colored petals. Black gives a depressing feeling. Light-colored petals can highlight the meaning of this theme and make it clearer and more intuitive. So, this is my purpose for the color choice.

 

I think for "Cold Violence", whether it is painting or installation art, it is not important. What is important is a kind of idea that can be expressed to the audience through art.
