Artist: Oton (Spain, b. 1978)
奧頓( Oton) 自幼熱愛繪畫,自學自練。喜歡描繪一切與馬德里有關的場景。用Oton自己的話為註腳:一種它自己的語言,批判性的和諷刺性的,幽默最終統一了話語,而微笑,經常出現,變成了鬼臉。
Oton時常花時間陪伴兩歲的姪子,兩人一起在筆記本上塗鴉、著色。當他觀察到姪子如何在米老鼠、高飛等人物身上劃掉、模糊或塗寫微笑時,Oton領悟到當中一些有趣,且至關重要的創作精神。這便是Oton創作的核心機制-----一份好玩的工作。一幅純潔無邪的圖畫。沒有規則,一切都處於同一水平。一雙手、一支眼睛、一對乳房、一瓣屁股或一隻公雞,都是一樣的。
From a young age, Oton had a passion for drawing, and he is entirely self-taught. He particularly enjoys depicting scenes related to Madrid. In Oton's own words: "It's a language of its own, critical and satirical, where humor ultimately unifies the discourse, and smiles, often appearing, turn into grimaces."
Oton often spends time with his two-year-old nephew, doodling and coloring together in notebooks. Observing how his nephew scribbles, blurs, or writes smiles on characters like Mickey Mouse and Goofy, Oton realized the interesting and crucial creative spirit behind it. This forms the core mechanism of Oton's creations—a playful approach. It's about creating a pure and innocent picture. There are no rules, and everything exists on the same level. A pair of hands, an eye, breasts, buttocks, or a rooster—all are the same.
