An art piece by two artists.
The exhibition also featured artwork based on the 8-hole boot. The featured artists were SNIPE 1, who started his career as a graffiti writer in the 1990s and is now an artist, and RAN TONDABAYASHI TONDABAYASHI, who creates surreal collage work, illustrations, paintings, and three-dimensional works.
SNIPE 1 says, "Dr. Martens has a strong image of the resistance in my mind, and in that sense it is similar to me. At first glance, the spray-painted graffiti works look colorful and bold, but up close, you can see that the spray particles are finely detailed and the work is precise and delicate.
With the new Corona threatening the world, there is a lot of information out there . Is it really okay to just be influenced by such information? I think it's necessary to have your own opinion while fighting back. This is also my own message: "If you put on a pair of Dr. Martens boots and chase after a white rabbit, you will be able to see everything.
On the other hand, Ran Tonda Rinran showed us her artwork, a collage of countless white 8-hole boots. Dr. Martens" is a brand that "I have often seen on the street since I was a teenager . An iconic brand worn by fashionable people . I wasn't sure if I was allowed to wear them," she said frankly. Tonda Hayashi finished her work, which consisted of two layers of different photographs, at the end of the exhibition. I usually don't make large works of art," she said, "but I decided to do it this time because it is easy to draw people's attention to the two-layer photo technique, and I like it myself.
. I tried to express a mask like Catwoman's. . Dr. Martens" gives the impression of being a bit naughty, so I used a picture of a smiling face. The other one is a picture of meat. Put the two together and you have a complete work.
