ABOUT ME!!!



INTRODUCTION

I AM BOWEN ZHENG, A SENIOR STUDENT FROM CHINA, CURRENTLY WORKING ON STUDIO ART. I WILL BE A FASHION DESIGNER CREATING TRENDY AND CULTURAL ELEMENTS INVOLVED IN FASHION APPAREL AFTER GRADUATION. 

 

MOTIVATION

THE FIRST TIME I HAVE THOUGHT OF BEING A FASHION DESIGNER IS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO WEAR THE SAME CLOTHES AS OTHER PEOPLE, I WANT TO BE UNIQUE. WHAT I CAN I DO TO SATISFY MY AMBITION? BE A FASHION DESIGNER.

 

STORY

HERE IS THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE EVENT IN MY WORLD: SIX YEARS AGO, I RECONSTRUCTED THE FIRST JACKET MYSELF, AND IT IS THE FIRST WORK OF ART I MADE IN MY LIFE. I GOT TWO JACKETS IN THE EXACT SIZE AND EDITION JUST THE DIFFERENCE OF COLOR (ARMY GREEN AND BLACK). I CUT THOSE JACKETS FROM HALF WITH A LITTLE ANGLE OF SLOP, AND KEPT THE UPPER PART OF THE GREEN ONE AND THE LOWER OF THE BLACK ONE, THEN SEW THEM TOGETHER TO MAKE MY JACKET UNIQUE. IT WAS TURNED OUT REALLY COOL. GOT REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK WITH MY PRODUCT, I START TO RECONSTRUCT MY CLOTHES AND DESIGN BACKPACKS. BEING ATTRACTED BY THE CLOTHES IN THOSE OLD PAINTINGS IN BOTH WESTERN AND EASTERN ART HISTORY, I START ADDING THE TRADITIONAL ART ELEMENTS INTO MY DESIGN. AND I FOUND IT TURNED OUT REALLY GOOD. 






 

ARTIST SAY

AS AN ARTIST, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY DO NOT BE AFRAID OF FAILURE, YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN, BUT DO NOT FORGET TO APPRECIATE THE MISTAKE YOU MAKE, YOU WILL FIND GORGEOUS THINGS IN THAT.

PROJECT #2

  THE ROLE OF AUTHORSHIP IS THAT PEOPLE COULD TELL “HELL YEAH THAT’S BOWEN’S WORK!” BECAUSE THERE IS MY SOUL, MY STYLE, AND EVEN MY EXPERIENCE IN MY WORK. MY WORK EQUALS TO MY NAME IN SOME ASPECTS. OF COURSE, I CONSIDER MY WORK ORIGINAL, BECAUSE I EXERCISE MY AESTHETIC BY READING A HUGE VARIETY OF WORKS, WHICH ARE IN VERY DIFFERENT KINDS OF STYLES. THEN I  COME UP WITH MY OWN STUFF. WHEN THE AUDIENCE LOOK AT MY WORK, THEY COULD ONLY TELL OH THAT ARTWORK LOOKED A LITTLE BIT LIKE BLABLABLA’S WORK, BUT ALSO A LITTLE BIT LIKE DLADLADLA’S WORK. BUT FUCK NO, IT IS JUST L I K E, THAT STYLE IS BOWEN’S STYLE MY ORIGINAL SHIT.      EVERYONE WHO STARES AT MY WORK FOR MORE THAN 3 MINUTES COULD “TAKE POSSESSION” OF MY WORK AND DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT. I THINK WHEN THE AUDIENCE GET THE BEAUTY OF MY STUFF, AT THAT MOMENT, THEY TAKE POSSESSION OF IT. AND THEY COULD ALSO DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES OF LIFE COULD DEFINI...

FINAL PROJECT REPORT

  MY PROJECT THIS TERM IS CONTINUALLY WORKING ON SHARING WITH THE AUDIENCE MY PERSPECTIVE OF APPRECIATING THIS WORLD VIA DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. THE WHOLE PROJECT IS AN EXTENSION OF THE FLICKER POST I HAVE DONE LAST YEAR. IN THIS PROJECT, I ADDED 230 PHOTOS TO MY PHOTO STREAM. MOST OF THEM WERE TAKEN DURING MY TRAVELING ALL AROUND THE WORLD; WHAT I AM DOING CURRENTLY WAS EDITING AND POSTING. ALSO, OF COURSE, THERE ARE SOME PICS THAT I TOOK DURING THIS TERM. AMONG ALL THE PHOTOS, SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN SORTED OUT INTO THE EXISTING ALBUMS, BUT ALSO SOME ARE ADDED INTO THE NEW ALBUMS, WHICH HAVE BEEN TITLED CREATIVELY. HERE IS THE BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE NEWLY ADDED ALBUMS.  THE SHOW! THERE ARE TWO BIG EVENTS THAT HAPPENED IN THIS TERM: THE  VOODIS  FASHION SHOW AND THE SENIOR SHOW. I SHOWED UP MY WORK IN BOTH TWO FASHION/ART SHOWS AND THERE ARE SOME FANTASTIC MOMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN CAPTURED BY MY LENSES. IN THIS ALBUM, THERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF ME AND MY MODELS.  ...

PROJECT PROPOSAL

            FOR THE ADVANCED NEW MEDIA IN ART SPRING TERM 2023, I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE PEOPLE MY AESTHETIC PERSPECTIVE TO APPRECIATE THIS WORLD THROUGH THE LENS OF MY IPHONE. ALL MY WORK IN THIS 10-WEEK PERIOD WILL BE UPLOADED ON THE FLICKER FINALLY; AND I WILL SORT THEM OFF INTO 10 ALBUMS, WHICH MEANS 1 ALBUM PER WEEK. IN EACH ALBUM, THERE SHOULD BE AROUND 5-10 PHOTOGRAPHS. ALSO, I WOULD LOVE TO MAKE A BIG THICK PHOTO BOOK THROUGH THE BOOKWRIGHT WITH THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT I TOOK THIS TERM. THE BOOK SHOULD BE AROUND 50-80 PAGES, IT REALLY DEPENDS ON  HOW MANY PHOTOS I AM SATISFIED WITH. BUT THE PAGE NUMBERS WILL BE AROUND THAT AMOUNT. FOR THE REFERENCE ARTIST, I WOULD SAY THERE IS NO ONE THAT I AM MIMICKING, LIKE I SAID I AM PROVIDING PEOPLE MY PERSPECTIVE IN MY WAY IN MY STYLE. BUT IF I NEED TO SAY ONE, THAT MAY BE ANDY WARHOL SINCE I ENJOYED HIS PHOTOGRAPHY A LOT IN THE PAST AND HAVE SEEN TONS OF HIS WORK BEFORE, MAYBE YOU WILL FIND SOM...
