Diapers as essential daily supplies for children are considered a dispensable, functional tool for controlling the kids’ primitive behaviors. In this painting, I aim to subvert the practical use and social meaning of diapers, using them to camouflage a child and turn him into a different character. The child, both naive and annoying, embodies imagery and role-play in an obscure way. In the book On Photography, Susan Sontag discussed the relations between photography and reality. For her, realistic pictures tend to “beautify” the real world, despite a photographer may not prefer such outcomes. Just on the contrary, I think that there can be cruelty in a seemingly wonderful picture, and this is the intriguing irony that I hope to present. I use a conventional white-greyish backdrop and transparent painting techniques to complete this artwork, but reduce layers of paint to enhance a grayish color hue in medium brightness. Through the ambiguous-looking protagonist and a dramatized composition, I also aim to create a cold, treacherous atmosphere and a dark sense of humor for this satire on humanity. Is an innocent child truly innocent? I’ll leave this to viewers’ discretion.
