Peony Blossom Sculpture

Acrylic and oil on violin. A wooden stand is included. The artwork can be hung on a wall or free-standing with the wooden stand. Acrylic and oil painting on real violins. From the artist's own experience, she observed children sized violins have lost its life as an instrument after the young violin players are grown up. Children's violins need to be replaced every few years with larger sized violins as their arms grow. The artist was a violin player for many years as a child. The project aims to give a new life as a work of art that is in both forms of painting and sculpture. It is an up-cycle art series using vintage violins turning into an artwork when the violin for children that I had been with in the past was neglected, losing its life as an instrument. Eury was also influenced by Man Ray's Le Violon d'Ingres (Ingres's Violin). As the main subject is often female portrait and figure, the artist found the similarity between forms of female body and violin as Man Ray did in the past. The artwork itself is a painting and sculpture and a musical instrument and visual artwork.
