Ivan Alifan Jdanov

     Ivan Alifan Jdanov is a figurative artist who does unusual paintings . His paintings are mostly done by thick paints , all of his paintings are erotic and they might be disturbing to some people due to the mature content . I really like how he does the painting with the thick paints , apparently some of the thicker oil paints need more than 1 month to dry . Some of Ivan Alifan's works are getting famous and being mentioned on social media such as Facebook .

NOT MILK

This series is an exploration of the modern gaze; of ambiguous figurative paintings that are revealed and transformed within the act of the individuals' views. These portraits are not an attempt to render physical characteristics  but rather create a language of underlying sexual subtexts. Using ambiguity as a tool demands the viewer's exploration of their psyches and provokes self awareness. 


To have a painting that can exist as an alluring object and shift into an eroticized figure disarms and naturalizes the modern gaze; decriminalizing sex in art. Whether an individual sexualizes the figure, or becomes embarrassed and nervous by the mere suggestion, this is all a process which occurs independently from the painting. Breaking down barriers of the different modes in which the body can exist in social spheres and contemporary art. "

Instead, Ozabu would see a piece in person and analyze it, teaching herself the technique and trying out different tools until she understands how the piece was created.      I have realized that Ozabu often draws gory drawings, some of them even reminded me of "death" even though her drawings are very beautiful. According to the interview, Ozabu's inspirations often come from her feelings and experiences, and she experienced death of someone important in her life. Therefore, her drawings included some funeral elements as they are gre...

Your Name (君の名は / Kimi no Na wa): trailer

Assignment 1      Our assignment 1 is to watch a movie, do research on it and write about it, then based on the art movements and the story of the movie, create another story thus produce the final video on YouTube. I chose to write Kimi No Na Wa as it was a fantastic Japanese movie that managed to be a hit. Kimi No Na Wa, is a mix of emotions, a fantasy romance film with interesting contents that keep the movie to be refreshing all the way to the end. This movie also contained plot twist that keeps the audience wondering to get the right answer.      Kimi No Na Wa has included few art movements such as post-modernism and dadaism, Post-modernism is a broad movement that involves 20th century like philosophy, architecture, art, and the rest, which is very obvious in this movie. Besides, dadaism is an art movement that shows avant-garde. It could mean plot twist, disagreement between the characters like the heroine(Mistsuha) and her father. Dadaism ...
