Hey! It’s .du here to takeover Day 4. Traveling and nature always inspire me a lot. I love to abstract the views into simple geometric shapes or sometimes a little bit psychedelic way. And I love to use vibrant colors to express a positive energy to my audience and myself as well. From time to time I received many positive feedbacks from strangers’ emails or messages saying that my Instagram posts even inspired them to conquer cancer treatment or other difficulties in their lives which really surprised me a lot and I feel it is so lucky and worthy for me as an artist. I truly believe that Nature and Art could cure everything. How’s your summer vacation going? Have you got any inspirations?

24/07/2024

How’s your summer going so far? This is a super hot summer here in Beijing 🥵. If you ask me when is the best time to visit here I would say fall/ autumn. But hope you all have a great and happy summertime!

Hey! .du here to takeover Pocko, Day2.
To celebrate the third annual Global Movie Day, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscars Awards official)selected five artists from five continents to commemorate Global Movie Day with an illustration inspired by their favorite movie genre. I was so lucky to be the artist representing Asia, and my favorite movie genre is musicals.
During the creating process I watched almost all famous musical movies. I was so touched by the spirit of musical movies. I love it because it’s joyful, warm and romantic, meanwhile it’s kind of crazy, naive and old-fashion but it says so many things that words can’t say which I found it has the similar spirit with my geometric abstraction art style.

🌟Intro to the Artist 🌟
Lauren McNicoll (b. London, 1995) is a ceramicist and artist living and working in South London. Her multidisciplinary practice encompasses a space that sits between sculpture, performance, and workshop.
Rooted in themes of q***rness, community, and feminism, McNicoll‘s work grapples with the ways in which history and societal expectations play out in interpersonal encounters. Her sculptural output defies conventional forms, existing as ‘architectural bodies’ or ‘bodily architecture’; exploring the sensibilities and edges of the q***r female body. Recognizing that our interactions with the world are often unexpected and inevitable, Lauren creates her work and conducts q***r body casting workshops from a place of deep trust within both herself, her participants, and those she engages with. The result is intimate, personal, and powerful.

Join our private view this Thursday 6-9pm to meet Lauren at Pocko Gallery!

Will we save the world? No, and I think that’s one of the most narcissistic messages in history.

What I believe we can do, at the very least, is convey a message of reflection and take a stand. I’m not talking about a stance between good and evil; this isn’t a movie. I’m talking about putting “value” and “money” on the scales, and in my opinion, sometimes, it’s good to tip in favor of values. It’s also true that, unfortunately, I feel we live in a “demo-mafia.” Yes to freedom of speech, but only up to a point, and unfortunately, that’s very serious.

I’ve been drawing professionally for 15 years.
I started as an illustrator, then became a photographer and graphic designer. I opened a branding studio, kept drawing, and perhaps gave voice to a style that has now become a trend. In essence, I dug my own grave, as they say. So, the best solution for me was to evolve, and since the world of design always seemed very interesting to me, a short while ago, I began turning my creations into design objects and products. Drawing and thinking about new concepts, how to simplify forms, the use of materials, and costs is one of the few things I enjoy doing. Along with cooking and gardening. Actually, I also enjoy going to parties during Milan Design Week. That’s the real reason.
