.ChErNiCk & LiJuN.

For this month, I focused on two artists, whose works have interested me a lot. The first one, is Saul Chernick, an artist whose works display unusual images of landscapes, skeletons, human beings and animals, and many of them, such as The Predator's Waltz (http://www.maxprotetch.com/main.html?id=231&show=4) are quite terrifying and disturbing. His works are all only in black and white (probably ink?) , but some of them have backgrounds of very light, smooth colours, creating a sort of unifying link with the black outlines of the drawings.

The second one, is Fang Lijun, an artist whose works mainly display bald, egg-headed, 40-50 year-old men, babies and human figures with backgrounds of skies and infinite fields. In most of his paintings, humans lose all their seriousness and they convey to the viewer, a sense of irony, joy and humour, displayed in a very original and unusual way. His paintings contain very bright colours (light blue, red and orange especially) but also very misty and sad colours, creating a significant contrast with the joyful men.
