    "Blow My Mind II" - A Captivating Fusion of Form and Symbolism

    In the realm of contemporary art, where boundaries are constantly blurred and unconventionality reigns supreme, "Blow My Mind" stands as a beacon of creativity and intrigue. This captivating sculpture, meticulously crafted from mixed media, epoxy, and golden leaf, embodies a harmonious blend of form and symbolism, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of intellectual exploration and visual delight.

    At its core, "Blow My Mind II" presents a striking contrast between the men's structured, formal attire and her ephemeral, cloud-like head. This juxtaposition serves as a powerful metaphor for the duality of human existence, highlighting the interplay between our grounded realities and the boundless realms of our imaginations. The men's stoic demeanor, conveyed through her tailored suit and composed posture, suggests a sense of control and rationality. Yet, her cloud-like head, a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues, alludes to the uncontainable power of dreams, emotions, and the subconscious.

    The artist's masterful use of mixed media, epoxy, and golden leaf further enhances the artwork's symbolic depth. The smooth, polished surface of the epoxy evokes a sense of resilience and strength, while the subtle imperfections and irregularities in the mixed media elements hint at the fragility and unpredictability of the human spirit. The golden leaf, meticulously applied in intricate patterns, adds an element of luxury and opulence, signifying the inherent value of the human mind and its boundless potential.

    With its limited edition of only 15 pieces worldwide, "Blow My Mind" is not merely a sculpture; it is a testament to the boundless creativity and innovation that define the contemporary art landscape. Each piece stands as a unique expression of the artist's vision, inviting collectors to not only admire its aesthetic beauty but also engage with its profound symbolism.

    As viewers gaze upon "Blow My Mind," they are compelled to confront the duality of their own existence, the interplay between their structured exterior and their ever-evolving inner world. The sculpture challenges us to question the boundaries between rationality and imagination, between control and surrender. It encourages us to embrace the boundless possibilities of our minds, to let our thoughts soar like the vibrant clouds above.

    "Blow My Mind" is more than just a sculpture; it is an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery, a testament to the transformative power of art to challenge perspectives and expand horizons. It is a reminder that within our minds lies a universe of possibilities, waiting to be explored and embraced.
  • A proposito di opere artista

    Per l'artista James Chiew, nulla accade per caso. Tutte le sue espressioni creative derivano dalla sua enorme spinta alla sperimentazione e all'innovazione. Nei suoi versatili lavori sui media misti, l'autodidatta originario di Singapore si spinge sempre oltre i confini. Ciò si riflette nelle sue idee e nella scelta dei materiali. In modo eccentrico e originale, James combina immagini e oggetti (fotografici) con materiali diversi, come legno, metallo, vernice acrilica, resina epossidica e tutto ciò che è possibile.

    In tal modo, mescola moderne tecniche grafiche con metodi classici e materiali analoghi.
    James Chiew: "L'era digitale offre opportunità senza precedenti. Mi piace sperimentare, perché sono sempre alla ricerca di nuove angolazioni. La sfida per me è cercare di raggiungere l'impossibile. Voglio rendere le cose più belle. Che spesso inizia nel mio ambiente circostante.

    Oggetti di uso quotidiano in casa e in studio cerco di mostrare in modo speciale. Promuovendo oggetti, faccio in modo che le persone li guardino in modo diverso e li pensino". Le sue opere d'arte hanno sempre molta profondità: letteralmente e figurativamente si scoprono diversi strati nelle sue opere.

    La fotografia è stata la base per James Chiew solo per pochi anni e si è rivelata l'inizio del suo nuovo periodo. La fotocamera e il materiale fotografico gli offrono prospettive senza precedenti, che hanno immediatamente portato al suo lavoro più riconosciuto fino ad oggi: Beatrix 3-D. Nel 2013 è stato invitato alla mostra "Beeld van Beatrix" a Paleis Het Loo e Paleis Soestdijk in onore del 75° compleanno di Beatrix.
