art blog - Andreas Englund - empty kingdom Andreas Englund originally hails from Falun, Sweden, but is currently based out of Stockholm. Englund creates an absolutely hilarious series of oil on canvas paintings of a beloved superhero on the wrong side of 40 just trying to get by in his twilight years. We’ll all see to that day ourselves at one point in our lives. None of us live forever. Who wants too?

The elegance of the shimmering characters that gradually metamorphose into birds as they ascend masks the subversive nature of the work. While the modern, simplified Chinese characters are fixed to the floor, their form and meaning set, earlier forms of scripts embody an increasing sense of freedom as one moves back in time, from traditional calligraphy to the original pictographs based on images of nature. Xu Bing said that he chose the bird to suggest “escaping the confines of human written definition.”

Pardon the incredibly blurry picture, but I was wondering if any of my fellow feminist bloggers would be interested in purchasing an EQUALITY painting. The style can vary according to your preference, and I use whatever colors you would like.
The money made from these will be going to fund my research trip to the American Psychological Association’s national conference in Washington D.C. in August. My research partner and I created our research last September to study the Psychological Effects of Abortion Procedures on Women and Social Factors Influencing Views on Reproductive Choice. We presented our work at the Association of Women in Psychology’s national conference in February, and were thrilled by being accepted to present at APA’s conference in August. Unfortunately, my research partner and I won’t be able to afford to further our pro-choice research unless we can raise enough money for the trip.
If you’re interested in a painting or making a small donation (every little bit helps!), there’s a donation button on the tumblr or you can message the inbox! PLEASE REBLOG & SPREAD THE WORD! Thank you! :)
