Painter Chris Huen Sin Kan on art, family and pets

Фильм және анимация

London-based painter Chris Huen Sin-Kan renders in ink unremembered and often overlooked moments in life. Taking his dogs for a walk, watching his children wreak havoc in his apartment, admiring his wife curled up in front of the TV; for the Hong Kong-born artist, these quotidian events are worthy of large-scale celebration on canvas... continue reading on www.nowness.com/series/meet-t...

    Your works remind me of my childhood spent playing in parks, where the dew slowly evaporated under a strong middle-eastern sun. That smell has been captured by you beautifully in your works. I wish I could see your work in person one day.

    I disagree. Art in forms like comedy, oil paintings, dance, and music has always been at the forefront of social change. Social change is changing the perspective and worldview of a culture and that leads to changing the country itself. History is full of these examples. Your art is beautiful and meaningful. Thank you for sharing.

    Watching your account picture in which you are wearing The Symbol of Submission on your face makes the things you write contradictory. But in a sense that 'they' made the wearing of a mask mandatory in certain periods / countries due to make the public used to 24/7 hyper state control , thats sure is a sick way to stimulate social change

    Interesting artist. I am an artist too and I think I think too much. . . I am always a kind of jalous of artists who are able or at least look as they 'just' DO it ! But thinking too much is caracteristic for me as an artist. I tried LOTS of times nót to think and just begin, but it always leeds to nothing . . . satisfying. But we 'just' go on . . . untill the New World 'Order' DEMANDS me what ànd how to make my art. I tend to always make figurative art with a twist. In the future I can continue with the figurative part, but I have to watch out which twists I'm gonna use . . .

    Every painter starts off with traditional. When they see how hard and how much time it takes they switch to modern art. Take from that what you will

    With all respect, saying "every artist start from..." - not. I believe you are not familiar with history of art. Even if most of artists go through learning basic skills of drawing and painting from nature, most also are not interested in classical approach to painting. There are few classic academies, Italy and Russia are famous for those, which purposely teach classic "academy" painting skills ( educating painters that then have very similar outcome to each other, usually not critically acclaimed but loved by certain public) and for the majority, already throughout art education in artschools all over the world it is expected from students to start developing their own individual style, which are then, as you say, "modern", not because that is easier, but because we live now, not 250 hunderd years ago. Artists of 19th century fought for the freedom to separate from academy and bring bold individuality and experimentation to paintings, started with impressionists.

    @@majdavojnikovic the history of art is fairly new. The history of painting is a different story. You are talking about modern art schools. Schools where they teach classical painting will never encourage you to come up with your own style. There is a huge difference between art and painting. If you are really interested in the downfall of human creativity since the last 1000 years look into Immanuel Kant. Art is a new concept, painting is ancient. Picasso was an artist, Rembrandt was a painter.

    @@adrianzugravu6577 there is no such a thing as downfall of human creativity. If you state something like that you should provide some evidence for it. Andbthen, "art is new concept"? What was there before? Greek tragedy was not art? Helenistic sculptures were not art? Music was not art? And Rembrandt was not an artist, and his paintings were not art? If not art, what were Rembrandt's paintings? And if those things are not connected, why do you connect them? "Painters switch to art because painting ( which is not art in your understanding) is difficult and time consuming"? Those are almost dadaistic statements :)))

    @@majdavojnikovic please open your mind and stop thinking that you know everything. Old masters were not called artists at that time, they were painters and sculptures. Again look into Immanuel Kant if you want to know more about art as a modern concept. He was the one that made the term popular. If you agree with him, that's another matter but at least you will have an educated opinion. As far as the downfall of human creativity, go to a modern art museum and compare the works with the old masters. There is a reason why people still don't know exactly how Caravagio or Rembrandt painted but any amateur painter can replicate most modern art paintings these days. Is that proof enough for you? Or do you still believe that self expression is more valuable than skill and technique? Picasso could create several works in the same day and Davinci would take years to finish a painting. Can you really place them in the same category? Is one not clearly better than the other. Immanuel Kant talked about the value of talent and genius without the need for any education and practice. The need to self expression vs the need to learn. Immanuel Kant separated the two and made modern art popular. Am I getting to you, if not I will stop this pointless discussion

    @@adrianzugravu6577 it is pointless as you are mixing things and place your taste " isn't one better than another" (no, it isn't) and "it took ages to make one, and an hour to make another" ( like Mozart, who wrote his notes in a day, without having to change one?) "a child can replicate that" ( no it can not, you believe that only if you have never tried to do so, and you have an uneducated eye, that many people have) etc. Just think of all the fakes that are sold as old master's paintings. Everything can be replicated. All really uneducated "arguments" and I won't even go there any more You still didn't answer the simple question, if Rembrandt is not art, what is it? And I like that you used Picasso as an example of not having technique and skills. Maybe you should look up the paintings he made as a teenager :))) Saying that making art is easier than requiring painting skills and mastering technique is, mildly said - idiotic. Everyone can learn technique, and most modern artist did that, but it is not a technique that makes Rembrandt a Rembrandt.
