Johns, Jasper

The exhibition that I’ve seen recently that left the deepest impression was Mr. Jasper Johns’ oil paint ‘flag’.  This piece of work gave me a huge impact. When I first saw it, I only thought it was a simple painting because the American flag fills the whole painting with a full visual impact, including the artist’s love for his motherland. After that, I found out that the brushwork of this painting is very delicate. The unique brushwork of this painting made me feel this painting is soft, like a silky carpet. The color he used made me feel a little old, because the yellowish beige gives a feeling of being placed for some time. Let me think it has sufficient visual impact and representative meaning, full of his delicate soul.
