Bloody Diary, Min Liu

Min Liu is a Taiwanese motion graphics designer and animator who has posted hundreds of red-hued animated GIFs on her daily ongoing project titled Bloody Diary. Although an ambition task to take on, each one of Min Liu’s striking animations never fail to impress. 

Pervasive Art

After the last post JR at the Louvre we decided to prepare another post featuring the art of JR, we previously featured his work here. He owns the biggest art gallery in the world, exhibiting freely in the streets of the world. His work mixes Art and Act, talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit.

From the artist:

JR creates “Pervasive Art” that spreads uninvited on the buildings of the slums around Paris, on the walls in the Middle-East, on the broken bridges in Africa or the favelas in Brazil. People who often live with the bare minimum discover something absolutely unnecessary. And they don’t just see it, they make it. Some elderly women become models for a day; some kids turn artists for a week. In that Art scene, there is no stage to separate the actors from the spectators.

After these local exhibitions, the images are transported to London, New York, Berlin or Amsterdam where people interpret them in the light of their own personal experience. As he remains anonymous and doesn’t explain his huge full frame portraits of people making faces, JR leaves the space empty for an encounter between the subject/protagonist and the passer-by/interpreter.
