Remix art
Remix art refers to the technique of changing the original project into another project by adding or deleting it. Its characteristic is to use and cover other materials to create new things and give them new meaning and understanding. Picasso once said, “Good artists copy; Great artists steal.”
After visiting the western oil painting exhibition, I found such a phenomenon: Madonna and Child are one of the classic themes of Western art, which is one of the most emotional themes. Many masters remix this theme to make it very epochal, especially during the Renaissance.
This is Picasso’s comprehensive analysis, reinterpretation and re-creation of Diego Velazquez’s Las Meninas in 1957. He did not exactly copy The Maids of Honor, but reconstructed the painting according to his own ideas and understanding. For example, changing the position and lighting of the characters in his paintings allowed him to create works that were uniquely Picasso’s.
In today’s society, remix art is more and more developed with the development of science and technology. Modern artists use Photoshop, CAD, 3D animation and other software to recombine and copy to create more diverse art works, which are easier for the audience to watch and understand. For example, the use of LED lights and electronic ink to make the stars in Van Gogh’s Starry Night come alive, shining in front of our eyes, as if people are in the painting, more interactive.
In short, with the development of society and technology, people can use more methods and methods to remix previous paintings and works of art, but this does not mean plagiarism. Remix culture can keep art fresh and challenging at all times, allowing artists to give it new meaning and understanding.
