I wonder how people don't realize that they get formatted and molded by society, the so-called responsibilities and routines. I have friends that were once open, caring for the world, poets. Nowadays I don't recognize them anymore. <br /><br />Genuinity, freshness and authenticity (as you so well put it) and shining eyes and breaking waves and fighting for something and taking chances and following the heart, are indeed part of the "eager young minds". Very nice initiative from Neocha EDGE. Is there something like that for young European artists?!?ecilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995350173931482842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472979922552268845.post-40252019680475687802009-10-21T11:11:13.207-07:002009-10-21T11:11:13.207-07:00jellyfish,

About the Neocha EDGE, I liked what you said about the young artists: they aren't contaminated by the routine and world boundaries yet. "Good morning, eager young minds", said Nash in the movie A Beautiful Mind.ntozeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434418973753216130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472979922552268845.post-48582290020282125912009-10-21T10:14:56.671-07:002009-10-21T10:14:56.671-07:00ntozei, sorry, I forgot to answer:

I am such a fan of young artists, no matter where they are from, no matter what their background or specialty is (visual arts, writing, music etc.), because they have a freshness and authenticity, as well as an enthusiasm, that no other consacrated artist (no matter how skilled) will ever have again. Even though some pieces might not be good, you can sense their spirit through their work and it is this that makes them so attractive: the spirit that in the beginning dreams knowing no boundaries. Charming! <br /><br />What NeochaEDGE also does is to create a platform and networking tool for them, which is also very valuable.jellyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018790523732061772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472979922552268845.post-76275168830695344642009-10-21T09:04:15.615-07:002009-10-21T09:04:15.615-07:00I've found this quote from her on another site...I've found this quote from her on another site:<br /><br />http://www.planet-mag.com/blog/2009/art/jennifer-pappas/yu-jing-young/#http://www.planet-mag.com/blog/2009/art/jennifer-pappas/yu-jing-young/<br /><br />"My figures express the loneliness of people living today. The transparent body means a perfect shield that makes it possible to hide itself anywhere, while the crying face represents a warning: ‘Don’t come towards me!’ I intend to remind viewers of the loneliness of people in this modern society, where there is little of true communication." And as for an overall theme? "I want to get away from the plastic smiles and fake facial expressions," she says. Thus is the essence of Jin Young’s stoic army.jellyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018790523732061772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472979922552268845.post-82913450543717486262009-10-20T11:33:42.037-07:002009-10-20T11:33:42.037-07:00ecila and jellyfish,

And the part she talks about the college art education, the time it took to do the sculptures, the thing about being happy on the outside and "choose to keep a distance from other people"... Everything in there is so full of emotions and reality. I think maybe that's why it's so impressive. We know people like the sculptures and sometimes we fell just like them. Besides the fact it's something creative and well done. More and more people should know this, I totally agree.<br /><br />By the way, I didn't know Neocha EDGE and I'm so glad I do now,thanks!ntozeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434418973753216130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472979922552268845.post-42139127764098029042009-10-20T07:41:49.000-07:002009-10-20T07:41:49.000-07:00jellyfish I am very happy you did so, beautiful ar...jellyfish I am very happy you did so, beautiful artists should be known :-)<br /><br />It spoke to me too, but I guess it is incredibly special and unique, so no wonder it makes us feel like this.ecilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995350173931482842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472979922552268845.post-28897592863852025842009-10-20T07:34:31.954-07:002009-10-20T07:34:31.954-07:00I really don't know why these pieces in partic...I really don't know why these pieces in particular and this artist (of everything I've seen lately) seem to speak to me so much. I have that feeling that, if I were an artist, this is the kind of work I would dream of doing.<br /><br />I have taken the liberty to suggest this artist for Neocha EDGE (a site dedicated to showcasing leading-edge creative content and emerging youth culture in China) and their "In The Neighborhood" series, where they introduce artists from other Asian countries apart from China. The response was very positive: Next week they will post it!jellyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018790523732061772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472979922552268845.post-83948342695990801832009-10-20T05:12:16.083-07:002009-10-20T05:12:16.083-07:00ntozei e jellyfish when you have some time check t...ntozei e jellyfish when you have some time check the rest of the sculptures, very cool indeed, beautiful!ecilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995350173931482842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472979922552268845.post-23056025342465021972009-10-20T00:17:54.723-07:002009-10-20T00:17:54.723-07:00I haven't seen something as cool as this in a ...I haven't seen something as cool as this in a looong time!!!jellyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018790523732061772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472979922552268845.post-59932025527069780972009-10-19T18:26:59.267-07:002009-10-19T18:26:59.267-07:00Wow!
