My Lovers

I started my 1^st sketch when I saw the family photo in the old album. This is 5 members in my family, my father, my mother, my sister and my younger brother.

Last time we used to stand side by side, have fun at the park together and enjoy daily meals cooked by my mom.

Unforgettable Moment  

The taste of Family's Love 

For the first 3 sketches I colored bright color because there were all my lovely memories. Blue sky and we played some games in greensward.

The 4^th sketch I did it when I came back to the present, I went to the park near my house and I felt “I’m here all alone”. In this sketch, the sky is no longer blue and green sward is no longer green.

I'm here all lone ...

The 5^th sketch I did it when I went back my house, I cooked by myself and I eat alone. At that moment, event the sky out there is blue but with me everything around me covered in black color.

Meals...

The 6^th sketch named: Left out. That is my mood at that time, because I feel I’m away from my family, I’m no longer to see my dad played chest  every afternoon ,my mom got class in primary school, my brother played game after finished his homework , my sister always in pink color. Everything fade away I felt lonely.

Left out

The 7^th sketch named: Lonely. Everything in black color, my emotion, my feeling, my mood.

Lonely 

The 8^th sketch named Hope:  I colored the purple around the pink. Because in my country, purple means hope and pink mean happy.

Color of Hope

Maybe everyone thinks that, I’m so ridiculous but I used to hope about Time Machine

Time Machine 

It will bring me back to the happy time with my family.

Conceptual vs Perceptual Art

Perceptual Art
When I was a child. I used to play with some pictures. I had no idea what is the meaning of these pictures, I just focus my eyes on it and I asked myself  is it this really moving? And now , I know that  called perceptual.  art. When the human contact with the art work, it will stimulating the human sensory  , make them try to figure out the meaning of the art work

Conceptual Art :

Gay by PTH

 According to the Wikipedia : " In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art." -Sol LeWitt
