[twenty one] Orang utan collage

I spent a long period of time last year on making art for ‘A Green Dot’ exhibition held at SMU for Nanyang’s 90th Anniversary. The work below was supposedly for some kid’s illustration book, the story related to the environment. So I chose an animal closer and dearer to home- the orang utan =). I chose Rocky out of the 3 research drawings ad collaged it with textured/painted paper.’ Hmm… I think all of my orang utans have a blur and spastic disposition. The first two are coloured with colour pencils while the last is a pencil drawing. 

1. Arty 

2. Rocky

3. Bally

Here’s the final collage. I cut out the different portions from different textures I made using paint techniques, and then pasted the orang utan together. It is framed up in a wooden frame, thus there is reflection on the glass panel.
