Crowdsourcing Art | Rippling The Realities of Pornography

// August 4th, 2010 // b-loud // b-uncut

We are a fairtrade Crowdsourcing art agency. The incredibly talented and experienced DongSheng Guan joined our Crowdsourced art community in March. His latest works took us all by surprise. I’ve never seen pornographic imagery transformed so uniquely. His digitally remastered images play with our notions of reality, toying with our perceptions of graphic and recognisable forms. His new work lures you in and conjures temptations for more. Each distorted picture traps you lusting to know the original image whilst enjoying the vast possibilities. Commission enticing artwork from DongSheng here.

Your first work of art?
Sorry, I cannot exactly answer you, a long time ago, you know, I’ve been engaged in painting for 30 years. The first time I participated in a national exhibition was in 2000; the work was in a realistic style in watercolours.

What is your favourite work of art?
If you mean the world and all works of art, I like too much, if referring to my own, I like the current batch of digital works mine. This is because they are distant reality from our own with strong visual impact and important to me.

Methods and inspiration?
I choose pictures and then use digital technology to transform them until there is the birth of a new image. From reproduction to show, from watercolour to oil painting and then to digital art; I pass a long process and have gradually realized the relationship between technology and art and won my freedom of artistic expression.

What are your artistic aims?
To create desire.

Who has helped you along the way?
Mainly my brother, he graduated from Tsinghua University and then the University of Wolverhampton, United Kingdom. He opened my eyes to make decisive change.

Where five artists will be invited to the last dinner you?
Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali, Andy Warhol, Beuys

What is your favorite curse?
Fuck

Your biggest (although endearing) flaw?
No artistic talent.

Who would you choose to rule the world?
God’s doing well.

Where do you see yourself in a decade?
After ten years, hoping to travel to Europe, where the best exhibitions are.
