The title "Rio 2016 Olympic Games: Swim like a Butterfly!!!! Team GB v Team USA!"

This work has been inspired by the swimming events at the Olympic Games, in particular that of the Butterfly Final, and that of Team USA and Team GB.

In this version, I have made a Bolder version with Post Pop Art colours by using Primary Colours of Blue, Red, and Yellow for the Swimming Lanes with their respective corresponding Complimentary colours of Green, Yellow, and Purple for the Text, to bring Bold or Pop Art colours, instead of the previous version of Muted Colours with hidden Text. Similarly, I have made the Butterflies Bold or Heavy to highlight them more instead of the transparency Muted colours in the previous version.

This has been inspired by the swimming events at the Olympics and Paralympic Games. Lanes #1 to 4 incl. depict Olympic Game winners, while Lanes #5-8 depict Paralympic Game winners. In particular that of the Butterfly swimmers, and other swimming and water events.

Olympic Gold medal winner, Michael Phelps (in the work indicated by initials MP, on upper lane #1). Katie Ledecky (indicated by initials KL, upper lane #2). Team GB Gold medal winners, Adam Peaty (indicated by AP, bottom lane #1), next Helen Glover (indicated by initials HG, in next bottom lane #2).

Paralympics Gold winners, Team USA, Bradley Snyder (indicated by initials BS, top lane #5), McKenzie Coan (indicated by initials, MC, top lane #6), Team GB, Ollie Hynd (indicated by OH, bottom lane #5), Bethany Firth (indicated by initials BF, bottom lane #6)

Within my work, I am interested in hidden messages, and within this work, there’s a hidden message in Binary Code. From the Top far Left lane, the Butterflies Spells the Letter “T” vertically downwards, 01010100, with the 8 Lanes Spell the word “TEAM USA!” with Stars & Stripes Butterflies, similarly the lower half lanes Spell the word “TEAMGBGB” (Inverted) indicated by Union Jack Butterflies. The image is reversible, choose which Team you prefer, to be Displayed Up!

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.
