Do you know where tattoos evolved from? In ancient times, there was a criminal law called ink punishment. In order to execute the ink punishment, people must first tattoo their faces and then dye them with ink. This was a cruel punishment in ancient times, which stifled human dignity. Later, ink punishment disappeared and became the current trend, that is, tattoos.
All the tattoos are on people. Have you ever seen tattoos on animals? At first, a foreign guy got a tattoo on the pig, and later he sold it to Chanel for $500,000 to make a limited edition bag. So, what happened next? Let's get to know each other.
First, the inspiration reappears.
In recent years, there have been many artists with new ideas, with Devai being one of them. The art he created is very challenging because it is different from normal art and people often talk about it. There are some violent factors in his art, some people like it and others don't, but not everyone can understand it.
1997, WIM needed to relax and find inspiration, so he went to the suburbs to play with his friends. They came to a farm. After dinner, they wandered around the farm. By chance, they saw a child lying on the pig and drawing pictures for the pig. Seeing this scene, WIM's inspiration immediately emerged, and then he began to take action.
It seems that artists all have this characteristic, and a very casual thing, in their view, is to be different and inspire them. WIM immediately went downtown to buy tattoo equipment. He bought a live pig on a farmer's farm and asked his master to anesthetize and shave him. After all the preparations were completed, WIM began his creation.
Second, tattoo live pigs
WIM decided to tattoo live pigs. The farmer's boss can't understand WIM's operation, but in WIM's view, this is the real art. It's the first time to tattoo a pig, and some things don't go well. During the creative process, the pig felt the pain and woke up. Although it failed, WIM was satisfied with the tattoo pattern on the pig.
WIM didn't give up. He made persistent efforts and finally figured out how long the pain caused by tattoos would last, so WIM always kept time when painting, which made his art complete. Once, WIM added the Chanel logo to a pig tattoo. When Chanel found out, she sued WIM and accused him of infringement.
Third, I made a limited edition Chanel bag.
Anyone who goes to court will be anxious, so will WIM, but at the critical moment, WIM used his quick wits to negotiate with Chanel, hoping that they could buy pigskin to make bags. Obviously, this is a win-win negotiation. Chanel agreed to buy WIM's creation for 500,000 yuan, and WIM also promised not to tattoo Chanel's logo.
Conclusion: Only a few people understand WIM's "art of violence". I hope WIM can truly reflect its own value one day.
