In questo mondo di una natura non specificata ma forse collocato nel futuro, un evento drammatico ferma il tempo ad un possibile presente. L'intensità dello sguardo nel nulla di questa madre tradisce non disperazione ma rassegnazione. Gli eventi sono andati in quel modo. A nulla è valso il suo tentativo di opporsi. Sembra ora che all'orizzonte si profili un eterno riposo. In qualche modo lei mi appare serena ma io partecipo della sua condizione. Un emozione mi pervade, partecipo della sua condizione...
In this world of an unspecified nature but perhaps located in the future, a dramatic event stops time at a possible present. The intensity of this mother's gaze into the void betrays not despair but resignation. Events went that way. His attempt to oppose it was useless. It now seems that an eternal rest is looming on the horizon. Somehow she appears calm to me but I participate in her condition. An emotion pervades me, I participate in her ...

BRIEF 2- DISRUPT
Artist research-
Uffe Isolotto
No body of work speaks to me as much as Uffe Isolottos 2022 installation at Venice Art Biennale, titled "We Walked The Earth". This piece tells a tragic story of life and death, focusing on a family of three centaurs. Struggling to cope with the challenges of our current ever-changing reality, the centaurs embody a state of turmoil between despair and hope, reflecting the profound uncertanty that comes with living in today’s world.
"We Walked The Earth" tranforms the pavilion of Venice Art Bienalle into a farmhouse-like space paved with field stones, filled with piles of eelgrass and horse manure. Visiters were able to walk through the installation and discover images reminiscent of an idyllic Danish country lifestye.
However, on closer examination it becomes apparent that all these seemingly familiar elements have been altered and distorted. The traditional Danish farming tools that lie within the installation are curious reinterpretations. Aswell as the tools, inside one of the rooms hangs a mutated ham, and unfamiliar species of farm crops are scattered across the rooms, oozing a blue fluid.
Amongst these peculiar surroundings, two hyperrealistic centaur sculptures emerge as the protagonists of the installation, and together covey a story of life and death across the pavilion.
In one room, the male centaur has taken his own life, and can be found hanging from a chain suspended from the ceiling. In the other room, the female centaur is lying on the floor giving, birth to a baby centaur. The emerging baby holds a promise for the future and foreboding hard times.
These are Uffe's own words when describing the installation;
‘There is a deep uncertainty in understanding what has happened to the centaurs and the world they live in. Is it a tragic or hopeful situation, or perhaps both?’ mentions Uffe Isolotto. ‘Even though the centaurs may not be real, we feel their struggle.’
‘The present time we live in is becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable as we face a lot of challenging realities, whether ecological, political or existential. There’s much hope and despair in the air, and I want to make that a physical reality with this installation.’ the artist explains. ‘We Walked the Earth also draws on experiences from my personal life that in a metaphorical sense resonate with more universal feelings and thoughts about life and death that I sense exist in the world today.’

for the ask game I'll have a number 7, a nr 15, 16 and a 25 thank you <33
I feel like I'm working at a drive-thru window.
7. Favourite works of all time excluding your own?
How pretentious do you want this answer to be??
Because the real answer is We Walked the Earth by Uffe Isolotto (TW: Suicide, and a bunch of other things I cannot explain but I'm sure will upset people. I'm not gonna put the examples here) though it's more of an exhibit than an illustration.
The sheer desperation that looking at the photographs give me is outrageous. I want to see it in person. But it's kind of pretentious.
Keaton Henson's work has always affected me, from the second I first heard his songs, to the first time I read his poetry, to the countless times I've looked at his sketches.
There's just a perfect imperfectness to his drawings.
15. Biggest artist pet peeve?
Anybody trying to tell anybody what to do. Yes, ideally you'd need to learn anatomy before bending the rules. Do you HAVE to? no.
Art, to me, is made from love and emotions and especially when you enter more classically trained areas, I feel like they say "Oh you can do that, once you learn the basics."
That only turns people off the idea. Do things that annoy you, THEN you can have fun. For example: Do I understand composition? Fuck no. Would it better my art? yea, definitely. Will I do it? Maybe when I feel like it.
Any time you create, you better your art. Whether that be writing, drawing, playing an instrument, or whatever.
The only rule to me regarding art is to create.
Another one is regarding pricing. Whenever I've taken commissions in the past, I've always done Pay what you want prices. I always see posts saying to not undervalue yourself as an artist and to at least ask for minimum wage as a pricing guide. I ain't charging anybody 15$ an hour for my drawings.
Art for me is a hobby, that I rarely do for money. I don't care that I'm valuing my work at less than 5$ an hour. Hell, I did a 6 character scene with a background a few years ago for about 20$, just because the concept seemed fun.
Not everybody who draws should make it a career, and I feel like telling everybody to treat as if everybody taking commissions for their living wage is not the way to go.
IF you want it to be your sole source of income, go for it. But I don't feel like saying that every artist needs to follow those rules.
16. What’s the most daunting part of your process? Ex, planning, sketching, lineart, rendering etc
Lineart, shading, and backgrounds.
Linearts are mostly due to my struggle with accepting the imperfections in my art. I used to have a very crisp and bold lineart with the smoothest brush you could ever imagine. It's just when I sat down and looked at the art that I enjoyed (both online and offline) that I realized I always preferred a thinner lineart and sketchier overall. I always used to think my sketches were so much better back then.
Shading pretty much follows the same vein. Thining my lines made imperfections in shading stand out more. I prefer lighting, and I have no idea how tf my brain makes those two completely different to me.
Backgrounds I believe are nearly universal. Everybody hates 'em.
25. Based on your recent reference searches, what would the FBI assume about you?
Guns, bombs, and kilts. BUT I frequently pop on a little (It's for a drawing, I promise) or (I'm writing something, I'm not killing anybody!) Which either amps my suspiciousness up or it makes me seem sane.
The worst is when I did the Midas piece and I wanted refs of oozing liquids, and like, blood was the obvious choice, but nothing was popping up exactly and it was frustrating to just have to google "blood oozing" "real blood oozing" "blood oozing wound" "Nosebleed" "hands covered in blood"

We Walked the Earth created by Uffe Isolotto and curated by Jacob Lillemose
“Spread over the entire pavilion, the piece welcomes visitors into a hyperrealistic world where images of Danish pastoral farm life mix with bizarre sci-fi elements, weaving a world of uncertainty. We Walked the Earth showcases a drama of life and death that focuses on a family of three centaurs. Struggling to cope with the challenges of our current ever-changing reality, the centaurs embody a state of turmoil between despair and hope, reflecting the profound ambiguity of today’s world.” Quote retrieved from designboom
