Still haven't decided what to post on this presentation. I could not decide how to react to the actual presentation, however the art itself is easy to react to. I think the artist was hampered in getting his idea's across via a language barrier. He knew why he was creating the art, but wasn't able to verbalize it in English as well. Which is disappointing, as I believe he could talk about his different series all day.
Overall the art was very dark, especially in the earlier kid years. He seems to harbor a pretty deep resentment towards children that comes across in his earlier work. The mostly composed children portray a very sinister feel, even in some very innocent positions.
I believe he further developed this later in his nature series, though maybe with a little less natural dislike coming through. The pinnacle of the nature series are the statue's. Where beauty and a dark theme combine into several pieces that are beautiful until the viewer looks a little closer to find the slightly darker underside with spiders hiding in the center.
