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.
