AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The growing importance of Aket in the art world was reinforced when he was selected by Coca-Cola for their global MASTERPIECE campaign as well as the limited edition urban art campaign of 8.6, thereby confirming his status as a reference in artistic circles. Aket Kubic continues to engage in an experimental and playful approach to art, using his creations to explore and present personalities and subjects with a style close to cubism. His unique approach to daily life and to cubism, combined with his playful experimentation, ensures him a leading place in contemporary art.
As a admirer of Bernard Buffet's work, I chose to revisit the theme of clowns.
Bernard Buffet, famous painter of the 20th century, is recognized for his unique style marked by angular forms and often dark colors.
Among his emblematic works, clowns occupy a special place.
In revisiting Buffet's clowns, I aspire to capture this duality: the joy and sadness that coexist in human existence.
My approach consists of integrating contemporary elements while respecting the essence of his work; the dialogue between the past and the present is increasingly present in my work.
悲しい (kanashii):
It is the most common word for “sad.” It can be used in many contexts, ranging from mild sadness to deeper pain.
In Japanese culture, sadness can be perceived through prisms that mingle beauty and melancholy. Works like haiku or animated cinema often evoke this duality: there is a sweetness that accompanies pain, an unsettling aesthetic that pays homage to the transience of things.
Japanese sadness is not simply an emotion to be felt, but a profound reflection of the human condition. It is expressed through the concept of mono no aware, this sensitivity to the beauty of ephemeral things.
Each tear can be seen as a drop of beauty in the vast ocean of existence. Everything becomes so poetic.
