Luo Li Rong’s
figurative sculptures evoke movement and intrigue, whether it’s the
artist’s feminine, graceful figures or her otherworldly creatures. The
China-born, Belgium-based artist has received several high honors,
including commissions for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. A statement
talks about the varied influences of the sculptor.
“In Belgium she remains true to her principles,” Art Center HOres
says. “She continues with her work and concentrates on the techniques of
the sculptors of Europe from the Renaissance, Baroque and other
periods. Her sculptures dazzle the viewer with their beauty,
craftsmanship and above all femininity.”
The artist is a graduate of the Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts.
Because I feel like it’s going to come up a lot: readers may recognize the sculpture of the woman with the flute. Images of the statue were mistakenly seized upon by men on Twitter, who believed that it was the creation of a white man, and thus, they stated, it was evidence of how nobody but white men can make art. This was a magnificent trainwreck that gave onlookers much joy, as, obviously the artist is Luo Li Rong.(A brief recap here: https://www.someecards.com/news/so-that-happened/ivan-throne-twitter-alt-right-sculpture-luo-li-rong/ but it’s also been viral on Twitter and Tumblr for a year.)
HOWEVER, Luo Li Rong’s art is clearly much bigger and more important than those silly comments by pissants, and her work speaks for itself. There is so much to appreciate in her use of things like gesture and texture. It’s so nice to see these beautiful and interesting examples, and to really get to grips with admiring the way she dresses/accessorizes, which is also important and deserves our time.
BUT ALSO: omg those faceless furred entities with colorful arms and legs. Fuck me. Those are what is getting me. I am fuckin RESONATING with the very first one. It genuinely looks like a living being made of improbable materials IN ADDITION to being a rare and valuable #horrible thing with arms. Good art. Good Art
This ketubbah blends visual motifs found across the Jewish Diaspora—a crown, symbolizing the Torah, and the rampant lions of Judah—with the depiction of ten parrots, birds celebrated in southern Indian poetry and folklore.
When we first got Annabel, the vet insisted she was a Pomeranian mix and would top out at 15 pounds. … I think my Pomeranian is defective. 😒 (Source: https://ift.tt/2y4eGWO)
‘straight men are terrified of showing platonic affection for other men because they’re afraid people will assume they’re gay’ now i hope this doesn’t sound too harsh but maybe if straight dudes, as a group, hadn’t spent decades
vilifying, mocking, and murdering gay men at every opportunity maybe being mistaken for a queer wouldn’t be such a federal fucking issue
like i am sincerely sorry men can’t show affection for other men without fearing for their safety and social standing, but mayhaps instead of blaming fangirls on the internet we could try asking straight dudes to step up and address their blatant homophobia
‘straight men aren’t the only problem, women are homophobic too’ thanks for the reminder ya’ll but, funny thing, I’m actually well aware that straight women can be asshoes too!
Anyways, straight dudes need to address their blatant homophobia regardless of what women say to them, and while they’re at it they can address why it’s so important to them to shift the blame onto women whenever anyone criticizes them.
this post got better and so I am reblogging it again.
