This is an installation art --CNJPUS TEXT,
is all painted by typography. The concept
and message of this artwork for the
artist wanted to conveys to us is to aware those who are forgetful or don’t
know the truth behind the society and history. Why said so ? this painting
originally come from Japan made by Japanese artist Ryo Shimizu. As we know everything originates
from somewhere else. Same as Japan’s culture, from their word character (kana, katakana, Arabic numerals,
and Roman letters) or to their tradition culture is influence by many countries
and we always mix and match other country’s culture with ours. Same to
Malaysia, the word Katil is actually from Tamil. Here the artist used the
combination/Hybrid of Chinese and English font.
I like the way he install the artwork and he really get know
the type of typography. Some fonts are on the floor but he didn’t just leave it
lean on the floor he decorate the posture of the font and make it like standing
lively. I think this part is the most impressive to me. He used the serif font
in his artwork.
