Fun at the Fun Fair!! (2018) Digital Arts by Vinci Art

Fine art paper, 11x8 in
This is the second version, in a series, following previous version “10 Year Itch”, and has been inspired by the Hollywood Icon Film “Grease (1978)” and more recently “Grease - Live (2016)” TV Show, in which the film starring John Travolta (as Danny) and Olivia Newton-John (as Sandy) is set in the 1950s at Rydall High School.

This is the second version, in a series, following previous version “10 Year Itch”, and has been inspired by the Hollywood Icon Film “Grease (1978)” and more recently “Grease - Live (2016)” TV Show, in which the film starring John Travolta (as Danny) and Olivia Newton-John (as Sandy) is set in the 1950s at Rydall High School.

Similarly, with the previous version, I have taken a difference stance by taking it out of context, juxtapose, and displaying this within the penultimate scene, when they are at the Fun Fair, and singing the song “You’re the One that I want” (see link below). During the scene they enter the Fun House, which Danny holds onto the stair side rails bars, and move inside together, dancing on moving belt, with the other T-Bird gang hanging on and watching from the outside from behind bars. Similarly, in this work, I am suggesting you are audience participation; possibly, part of the T-Birds Gang, and part of the audience are watching Danny & Sandy watching from the outside behind the bars & rails. The Primary Blocks of colours of Blue, Red & Yellow on inside the walls of Fun House, have been transposed onto the Floor, creating a Disco Dance Floor.

Danny & Sandy are standing on a Disco Dance-floor, gridded into squares, and represents a secret message in Binary Code. An infill square of either, Blue, Red or Yellow indicates a 1 in the Binary Code, such that from left to right it will display a Letter from the Alphabet, and forms words. Inspired a chess board, gridded 8 by 8, compete against each other, like gangs T-Birds and Scorpions. Also, inspired by the Disco dance floor lights of the 1970s.

The upper Birds have been included from my previous work “Tug of War & Peace (2015)” which depicts two Doves (Birds) pulling on an Olive Branch with word “Peace”, ironically similarly from the gang name T-Birds and their rivals the Scorpions in the film "Grease"

I have been inspired by simple outline drawings, in thick ink, with infill textures, and comic text, such as the work by Roy Lichtenstein, Michael Craig-Martin and Julian Opie, Angela Bulloch.

*** Offer Any Three works, "...because you're Gorgeous...nobody puts Baby-Bird in the Corner!", "Rock n Roll Star!", "Fun at the Fun Fair!" and "10 Year Itch", for the Price of Two, of £120, while Stocks Lasts.

Biography

Vinci is a Conceptual Artist and is best known for his abstract use of repetitive vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines superimposed with four-letter words forming a playable word search.

“The idea or concept [Conceptual Art] is the most important aspect of the work, and I use any medium [painting, digital, printmaking or sculpture] to convey the idea to the piece of Fine Art”

The Artist is interested in the interaction between opposites, yin & yang, war & peace, love & hate, rich & poor, and life & death. The Artist juxtaposes these contrasts with the innocence of Toys and Games used in our youth.

His most recent body of work Style Series is influenced by De Styij or Style after Piet Mondrian [1872-1944]

His previous body of work includes Flags of the World which communicates with viewers through linguistics, semiotics, and cryptography. The series includes English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and American Flags superimposed with four-letter words of their respective language forming a playable word search from A to Z.

His previous works include, Retro Celebrity Stars, which is a homage to Celebrities of our past from the films of the Hollywood Golden Era to the present day. Every one of these individuals helped create the world we live in today, and though we know their names, their actual images might be fading from our memory.

 Disasters of War, is a homage to Heroes and Villains from World War I & II, by the use of humorous and tongue-in-cheek language to explore the more serious issues of the past to the present day. Heroes and Villains are portrayed in life, death, and immortality by the use of toys of our innocent youth. The toys are used as a satirical look at the “Disasters of Wars” revealing shock and truths of war and violence in a playful way.

These works have been influenced by the Pop Art movement with simple outline drawings, infill textures, and comic text, with hidden messages, with playable word searches, such as the work by Michael Craig-Martin, Julian Opie, and Angela Bulloch, and he has been influenced by other art movements such as Cubism, Pablo Picasso, Dadaism, Marcel Duchamp, Neo-Plasticism, Piet Mondrian, Sensationalism Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, and Chapman Brothers.
