Artist Statement
This piece of work was inspired from the classic painting "Diana the Huntress" (1867) by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919). The female figure usually represented peace and love, however, the Huntress indicated a woman with power and force. War was a behavior for humans to reconstruct and revolutionize for their idealized world. After WWII, we as the Generation of Hope living in a social phenomenon full of harmony, hope, pleasure, and desire. The Generation of Hope series depict the post-utopian world created by humans, and each subject was referenced classic Western paintings to indicate the influences under the European hegemony. People seem to be living under a war-less wonderland, however, the truth is covered with hypocritical lies. The paintings ironically disregard the reality of corruption and erosion with hedonism.
