[BREAKING NEWS] Cheekiemonkies caught on video vandalising a wall in public in SG!!!

#fakenews cos this was actually part of a Graffiti workshop we participated over the weekend. So yep, it was still a S.A.D. but Saturday Art Date instead of Saturday Adventure Date with the fam. And can I just say this was a guided tour that the monkies were looking forward to? All because it involved spray painting graffiti on a public wall. 😅

The guided tour started with an hour’s walk around Kampong Glam - I don’t have to tell you how eclectic that area is - where we were introduced to all the street art that were done using only spray paint. They looked amazing, and even better that our guide was an actual street artist himself so he gave a lot of insights, especially struggles that the local street art scene faces.

Of course the highlight of the tour was the hands-on graffiti workshop. We were given a quick crash course on how to design our own street art and given a practical lesson on how to control the spray paint can. NOT EASY!!! Especially the outlining bit. But we did bumble through in the end - with our very own spray-painted graffiti art to bring home! Totally entertaining not only for kids, but for adults too. Somehow, graffiti art brings out the rebellious streak in a person? 😜

【 Echoes 回聲 】刻劃一首關於聲音的詩

街頭塗鴉出身的COLASA，從過往的具象主題直至今日的抽象表現。隨著時間累積及生活體驗，將創作建構於塗鴉語彙之上，轉換為回聲在記憶中留下的感悟。在時間的烙印中進而探討創作媒材和所謂繪畫視覺性乃至觀者情緒彼此間的共鳴關係。

以世俗生活所習慣的思維定勢，找尋對人生理想和生存意義的反思投射在畫布上，通過突破、創新、引起，來表現和傳達自己的審美感受和審美理想。從而表現出更為自由廣闊，暗示內心對美好事物的浪漫憧憬，帶給觀賞者餘音繚繞的感受想像。

回聲雖已結束，記憶卻越顯鮮明。

Colasa is an avant-garde artist known for his imaginations. In addition to his graffiti art, Colasa also continuously experiences with new materials and substances to enhance the expressiveness of his works.
Colasa was born in Taiwan and majored in art related fields throughout his academic career. After graduating from high school, Colasa fell in love with skateboarding and graffiti. At the time, street culture or subculture was still very new to Taiwan, and so he had to look towards the internet to find anything related graffiti art.
Having studied art since childhood, Colasa insists on the defiance of traditional art forms and adopts a rather unconventional creative method -- graffiti. With his very own unique style and Chinese ink inspired techniques, Colasa is making a name for himself in the international arena!

黑暗中的彩虹
Rainbow in The Darkness
2017

The transformation of scars, the writings of freedom, the characteristics of open spaces and the time lapses of changes

This work responds to the outdoor installation of Spectrosynthesis - Asian LGBTQ Issues and Art Now organised by MOCA Taipei in 2017. Scars are the early inspiration to the artist, which later incorporated with writings, expressing the sense of public and privacy between day and night through the light. A set of eight matrixes is painted black and set on the square, forming a closed space. It is an interactive site-specific installation that allows people to leave their messages to integrate personal experiences within the public spaces. The square has become more than a space with audiences’ participation. The installation, space and audiences have been the one together in response to the concept suggested.

People usually express their emotions by graffiti or carvings on walls, while those marks would turn into important inscription of the eras. Rainbow in the Darkness intends to reduce mental scars resulting from verbal or non-verbal violence that left in people’s mind while they were growing up. Through the black matrixes lining up in the centre of the sqaure, the artist creates dialogues between the individual and the public. In the daytime, visitors leave texts or patterns by removing some black paints on the matrixes with a scraper, while in the nighttime the matrixes reveal those marks through the light from colorful LEDs installed within like the time lapses with personal and public stories. The work tells a story of people facing their scars bravely even in the face of much suppression, which ends up becoming a record of this era.



傷痕的轉化，自由言論的書寫，廣場開放的場所特性，不斷變動的時間切片

此作品為回應2017年當代藝術館展覽「光‧合作用－亞洲當代藝術同志議題展」之展出戶外臨時裝置，選以“傷痕”作為概念發想的源頭，結合書寫，試圖透過光，展現白天和晚上———開放與私密的兩種表情。裝置為八個長方形量體組件，作品設置在“廣場”，在開闊的廣場中圍塑出一個隱蔽的口字形小空間，量體上塗佈黑漆，藉由民眾在裝置上留下痕跡，由個人的內在生命經驗扣合廣場開放的場所特性，成為一因地制宜的互動裝置；廣場在此不再只是空間，而觀眾也不只是觀看者而已，兩者均成為作品的一部分，裝置、空間及觀眾參與構成三位一體，完整呈現出作品的意涵。

人們常藉由在街頭的牆面塗鴉或刻字來表達情緒，留下的各式印記也成為重要的時代痕跡。《黑暗中的彩虹》試圖透過釋放原本內心裡面的言語，也許是成長過程中，所遭遇的言語攻擊甚至身體傷害所造成的傷痕。透過設置於廣場中央、矩陣排列的黑色量體裝置，從個人開始，啟動一場與大眾的互動對話。白天民眾可藉由尖銳物品在覆上黑色漆料塗佈的作品表面，留下任何想訴說的字眼或圖案；到了夜晚，在作品內置的多彩 LED 燈條照亮下，這些隨著時間不斷變化並累積的痕跡，如同時間切片，漸漸被刻劃下的文字與圖像透出彩虹光芒，從個人私密的書寫成為眾人的共筆，彷彿訴說著人們在面臨各種壓迫時，仍團結凝聚以勇敢的姿態正視傷痕，最終成為這時代階段的一份紀錄。
