DAT PIC!


 ABOVE ALL, THIS PICTURE IS THE POSTER FROM STUSSY SPRING COLLECTION 2022. 

 





LINGUISTIC MESSAGE:

AS WE CAN SEE THERE IS A LOGO AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, WHICH IS A S T U S S Y IN THE STUSSY GRAFFITI FONT. IT MAKES THE AUDIENCE KNOW THAT THIS POSTER IS FROM STUSSY.  

 

 

LITERAL MESSAGES:        

SOME BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE: THIS BRAND IS FOUNDED BY SHAWN STÜSSY, A SURFER WHO USED TO SHAPE HIS OWN BOARDS FOR FRIENDS AND LOCALS IN LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA. STÜSSY BEGAN SCREENING T-SHIRTS AND SHORTS TO SELL ALONG WITH THE SURFBOARDS AS A FORM OF PROMOTION; HIS SURNAME WRITTEN IN A GRAFFITI-INFLUENCED HAND STYLE WAS TO BECOME THE COMPANY LOGO.

 

IN THIS POSTER, THERE IS A COASTLINE EXTENDED FROM THE BACKGROUND TO THE FOREGROUND WHICH REPRESENTS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF STUSSY: SURFING. ALSO, WE CAN TELL THERE IS A GRAFFITI HAND-STYLE LETTER S PRINTED ON THE BEACH, WHICH REINFORCED THAT THIS POSTER IS FROM THAT BRAND, AND SHOWS OFF THEIR IDENTICAL LETTERING STYLE. OR MAYBE IT INFORMS PEOPLE THAT LETTERING WILL BE A BIG THING IN THAT COLLECTION. 

 

THE WHOLE POSTER PROVIDES PEOPLE A CHILLING VIBE ON THE BEACH THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE TO GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT BRAND AND TRIES TO STIMULATE PEOPLE TO BUY THE PRODUCTS. 

 

 

SYMBOLIC MESSAGES;    

MAYBE WEST COAST FASHION STREET WEAR CULTURE? 

 

DENOTED MESSAGE;        

THIS POSTER IS 100% TRUE! SINCE THIS IS A REAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN BY A PHOTOGRAPHER WITH HIS CAMERA. PERSONALLY SPEAKING, PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT ALWAYS A LIE, ARTIST TAKE PHOTO TO RECORD THE BEAUTY AT THAT MOMENT AND THAT MOMENT ACTUALLY EXIST. EVEN IF THEY MIGHT USE PHOTOSHOP TO MAKE THE PHOTOS LOOK BETTER, THE THINGS ARE STILL REAL. 

 

CONNOTED MESSAGE: 

WE SHOULD WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE STUFF IN THAT COLLECTION.

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...

BORN RICHARD SATURNINO OWENS, HE BEGAN HIS LABEL IN CALIFORNIA IN 1994 AND NOW OVERSEES A VERITABLE FASHION EMPIRE FROM A FIVE-STORY COMPOUND IN PARIS.

ART TALK RESPONSE: CRISTIAN ANDERSON

WELL YEAH, HE IS A COOL ARTIST, BUT I AM NOT VERY INTO PAINTING STUFF, SO I AIN'T GONNA TALK ABOUT HIS WORK. JUST VERY FEW THINGS HE MENTIONED DURING THE TALK MADE ME INTEREST ED.    “ARTISTS DESCRIBE HOW THEY FEEL AND THINK THROUGH MAKING ARTWORKS”   I CANNOT AGREE MORE! THE VERY ESSENCE OF MAKING ARTWORK AS AN ARTIST IS A WAY TO REFLECT THE ARTIST’S THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS. WHEN AN ARTIST CREATES A PIECE OF ART, THEY ARE NOT JUST PUTTING COLORS ON A CANVAS OR SHAPING CLAY. THEY ARE POURING THEIR SOUL INTO THEIR WORK. THEY ARE SHARING A PART OF THEMSELVES WITH THE WORLD. THROUGH THEIR ART, THEY CAN COMMUNICATE THEIR EMOTIONS, THEIR EXPERIENCES, AND THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON THE WORLD. MAKING ARTWORK ALLOWS THEM TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN A WAY THAT WORDS CANNOT.    “ART CAN BE EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE” STRONGLY AGREE! ART IS NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT EXISTS IN MUSEUMS OR GALLERIES. IT CAN BE FOUND EVERYWHERE AND ENJOYED BY EVERYONE. WHETHER WE ARE CREATING IT OR AP...
