*도시 디앤에이 페인팅 [ lu xinjian ] city DNA paintings

반응형

여러분들이 보고 있는 그림은 모자이크 회화가 아닙니다.

구글어스에서 제공하는 각 도시의 항공뷰를 참조하여 각 도시들의 특징적 문맥을 아크릴 페인트 물감을

이용하여 캔버스에 회화화한 작품입니다. 각 도시들이 보이시나요?

가만히 이미지를 보고 있으면 각 도시들의 특징들이 보이기 시작합니다.

또 어떤 도시는 가보지 않아도 이럴 것이다라고 상상이 되네요.

in his 'city DNA' series, chinese painter lu xinjian abstracts the forms of cities based on aerial views from google earth. xinjian first sketches a design while looking at the map, next turning these patterns into stencils using adobe illustrator and a cutting plotter before painting them with acrylic on canvas.

while the colours and chaotic lines at first glance seem purely graphical, perhaps even reminiscent of keith haring's work, the designs actually represent what in architecture is termed 'city DNA': the structure and form, whether planned or happenstance, of an urban settlement. the colours of each piece are chosen based on the official city and national flags.
