AKET KUBIC CREATES ON AVERAGE TWO TIGER PER YEAR, ACCORDING TO HIM THIS ALLOWS HIM TO NOTICE THE EVOLUTION OF HIS PAINTING AND HIS VISION OF THE TIGER
The encounter between Cubism and graffiti offers a fascinating exploration of wildlife, particularly tigers. These majestic felines, symbols of strength and wild beauty, become sources of inspiration that seek to deconstruct and reinvent their image through geometric shapes and vibrant colors.
The angular lines and geometric forms typical of Cubism intertwine to create a dynamic representation of this emblematic animal. The bright oranges and deep blacks, characteristic of its fur, evoke an exotic and fantastical environment. Each spray stroke accentuates the movement and vigor, as if the tiger is coming to life before the eyes of passersby.
TEXT OF THE WORK
In the colorful aisles of the supermarket,
I searched for the boxes of Kellogg's, those cartoon characters catching my eye. In the morning, around the family table, we shared moments with my siblings. The television commercials echoed, as did Tony the Tiger, the iconic mascot.
The cereals marked our youth,
Precious memories, but above all, moments of life.
Through this message, Aket Kubic invites us to reflect on the place of wildlife in our modern world. The tiger, often confronted with threats of extinction, becomes a powerful symbol of resilience and wild beauty, while also questioning our relationship with nature.
TEXT OF THE WORK
Tigers often appear in classical Japanese art. Since these artists were unfamiliar with tigers, they often depicted them as large, striped domestic cats. It was the artists from the Kano school who painted these astonishing animals.
Here is a work related to extinction; the tiger is primarily an endangered species, and personally, I find that quite striking. To be taken with a grain of salt, of course!
In addition to his representations of tigers, Aket has also focused on creating other animals in various settings. His work particularly emphasizes scenes from nature, capturing the beauty and diversity of wildlife in its natural environment. Through his pieces, he aims to convey the harmony and interactions among different species, while highlighting the importance of preserving these natural habitats. Each creation serves as an invitation to admire and respect the wonders of the animal kingdom.
