I worked as his interpreter a few years back when he was staying in The Netherlands as an artist in residence, really nice guy, extremely passionate about art and history. I remember how his eyes lit up when I told him you could get soy sauce in Dutch supermarkets too XD

You can get soy sauce pretty much anywhere in the developed world.

'Questioning existing systems, this is my art.' Brilliant!

Quite a blessing to have parents whom support ones life purpose, so often I hear of people who were not supported to take a career in the arts and many people in our society don't always recognise the significance of the arts. However art references humanity's evolution especially in the historical context. To a point... we're able to decipher the psychologies of the people past and present, certainly his work plays a significant role in Singapore's history, well in my opinion it does. It's good to question political systems, all systems to that point, interesting! Sun Xuns work is incredibly beautiful 😊

I think he is brilliant! I love his art. He is so ambitious, experimental, hard working, open minded and a true citizen of the world! He has a lot of my respect.

"I don't know what it is (his art) but I am happy". Inspiring.

It’s all about people and feeling. I guess.

Sun Xun is a collector.he collects different things...and I am happy,just happy for him

Really, really impressed with this guy. I find his art and personality very compelling.

Real artists are global citizens. True.

I don't know why they stopped making teh brilliant idea series, truly amazing overviews of artists all around the world, wish there'd be more of these

Sun Xun hands down one of the best artists of his generation and future generations

his father is a very god man to recognize Sun Xun's talents and support the art dream

I noticed that too and that made me smile 😃 sometimes parents rob us of our talents and dreams and force us to get jobs so to see that he agreed on him being an artist was beautiful

I love how artists may influence each other across all media: for instance, Sun Xun created an island on the back of a whale and truth was the significance. In music, Harry Styles created a whale shaped island where he learnt the truth of himself and his lover ( Eroda). He featured it in a music video called Adore You ( Eroda = Adore). I wonder if Harry Styles was influenced by Sun Xun? How exquisite that would be!

That's so cool! I didn't realize this

I love these videos, but the subtitles bother me. They're changed pretty often from what he's actually saying and it sometimes changes the meaning. I understand that his English isn't perfect, and adding occasional small grammatical changes for clarity would be ok, but there's no reason to change "past news" to "old newspapers", "changed" to "influenced", or "art was not the real end" to "art was not the end goal", other than the transcriptionist just thinks they know a better way to say what he's saying.

Have you considered doing a subtitled version? I would value it highly. Once upon a time II watched the French "Beauty and the Beast" and with my infinitesimal grasp of French noticed it very poor. .

I appreciate what they've done. Sometimes he's not using the right words to express what he's trying to say and the transcriptionist did a great job to bridge that communication. Think of it from a deaf person's perspective. Transcribing what he said literally can kill that communication.

@Vongdarakia I understand what you're saying and I agree, but I think to use the word "kill" is a bit much.

A bi-lingual person often literally translates words and thoughts from his native language. So, given the context, the choice of his English words might not be the correct one and will leave the viewers confused. I think they had a Chinese interpreter with them who clarified some of the words which would help the translation in the end. Maybe, for e.g. he really meant to say old newspapers and not past news. If you knew Chinese people who are not fluent at English, their choice of English words is very similar to his.

Such a positive & ambitious nation.

What an amazing man! This is what I call a true artist.

This is very inspiring. His point of view is interested and truly express what it means to be an artist. We shouldn't limit our thoughts or medium we use to create.

I m an artist and agree with him in all. We're a nature tool for the future, people of the world, of the past, present and future. 💓

Excellent video! Fascinating!

Enlightening, for sure. Sun Xun is a true artist.

Very inspiring! Artist work not for present , Artist work for the future. Sun Xun 🙏😇❤️

"I work for my spirit" That is an amazing idea... I never thought in those terms before.

Incredibly inspiring. I'm surprised I've never heard of him before. This is what I need to motivate me to continue art

i rarely watch any video all go through, but his attitude caught my eyes and i was just keep watching... His thought inspired me a lot that he is just an artist without any label where he from. great, wonderful!

Finally someone that inspires me to progress...and explore my creativity.

Amazingly inspirational. Best artist I've seen in a while imo

Amazing ideas through the artist, but would have appreciated less consumer overtones on what Xun’s work means. I would rather hear more on the artist’s concept than what a regular (just educated) individual has to say.

Thank you for the excellent teaching video....loved the interview....

This is my first time hearing of Sun Xun, what an amazing artist and also an inspirational person. Love his work.

His art is really refreshing to see. Inspiring.

True artist. True passion. True inspiration for me!

absolutely magnificent artworks! He is so modern with a little dash of nostalgia from the past.

Spellbinding and brilliant. What a master of his craft.

Such a pleasure, thank you.

Absolutely amazing!

He's a true artist. True artist represent himself (and its more important), and his culture, in one time. You can dislike it, but you can't say, that it is not art. Basicly, you never can. So just stop being ignorant.

His work is so powerful!!!

Unique styles and thoughts. Thanks

I love his art and passion.

This was great!

Uauuuuu..... love it. Absolutly amazing.

i don't like art when you need someone to explain you how beautiful the work actually is...

Super talent young artist. It's important to express our own interpretation of the world we see, we know and we don't see and we don't know very well, and then we hear out, we learn and we adjust, keep on expressing. That's important for an artist.

love your videos and paintings

How come there's people critiqueing his art but not elaborating on it? It sounds like cowards who don't know what he's doing, see something political (art always had to be international right?), and are jealous of the attention. Be honest with yourself. You haven't given him a chance. This is exactly what he's talking about. You accept one type of art and opinion, but not his. All art is just one part of the truth, as shown from one person's perspective. It's not his fault his subject matter draws more attention.

Glad that Xun’s dad didn’t stop him from pursuing the true art in his heart. But his dad was wrong about one thing, being an artist cannot avoid talking about politics, especially in a country like China where histories were recreated. I like Xun’s idea to be a world citizen and only to represent himself rather than his country. Please keep being independent and delivering your own thoughts (uncensored).

Wow I'm so inspired!!

Wow! What an impressive artist!

Amazing video and content 😍😍

great wonder! much wondering, even fearing, so...wonderful!

This man is like a powerful stream gushing out creativity very naturally. It was wonderful to see an artist possessing strong ties with his family and the world. The remarks made by Sun Xun towards the end of this clip were some good lines to ruminate on. Absolutely loved this.

wow lots of hard work

This guy Sun Xun is clearly ten times smarter than all these, a les around him and its kinda boss, most of the interviewerees dont even speak in a way that can be comprehended, and clearly are just grifting. More power to this guy though, seems cool, but not world shattering as they describe of course.

Very inspiring!

Génial, it's great !!!🤗🌹❤
