Since I arrived in Vietnam, just as I would be doing at home, I have spent alot of time taking photos, painting, drawing and generally mulling over those lovely artistic trains of thought -
I thought I would post a blog on one particular idea.
At home motorbikes and scooters are pretty rare - to me they represent a has-been in a mid-life crises, a so-called wide boi or if i'm lucky, some chique Italian who for some bizarre reason has made a move to Durham....or in my dreams, Jude Law.
Here however, they are everywhere; they are a symbol of freedom and independence and chaos. These paintings (apart from illustrating just how obsessed I have become with motorbikes) are supposed to portray the importance of familial relationships in Vietnam, as well as representing the speed of development that is happening here and the desire to catch-up with the western world.
CHAO. Another art-blog to come soon...
