"Take A Selfie" Contemporary Painting by the artist getFreaky. Acrylic/mixed media on canvas. Disney animation characters have always been an indispensable element in getFreaky's works, and recent works have added many words, thus creating another way of expression of getFreaky, but the same is based on their own life experience combined with a relaxed and happy picture direct satire is definitely the most important form of expression of the artist. The words "Lie", "Life", and "Fake"; continue to appear in the picture, and the rabbit shows people with an exaggerated smile in the animation, and directly replaces the young girl who seems to stand behind it, such as laughing at the false life is very beautiful and satirizing today’s social phenomena.
getFreaky, a contemporary artist, has traveled around the world since he was very young because of the change of his growing environment. These trips exposed him to different cultures of the world, their art and images. "My
creation is inspired by the global multimedia culture, especially Walt Disney
and other cartoons, and the integration of cartoon and contemporary is the
best art from for me, and it is also the channel that I think interacts with the
world". he said. getFreaky's works seem quite relaxed and pleasant, even interesting on the surface. But when the viewer continues and looks deeply, they will see the very subtle tension of social statements, which reflects the absurdity, tenacity and noise of the current society. “I combine my growing up experience with contemporary culture and street art, and express my thoughts with taunts and reflections on today's society; A comprehensive view of social status, political power struggle and metaphysical ideology are the sources of his creation. The work of getFreaky draws on contemporary cultural imagery from Pop Art, and is on par with the ideology of the 20th century American painter Lichtenstein, he is good at using direct accusations against the huge impact of popular culture to shock his audience, and getFreaky also thinks that he is not only imitating comic characters, but rather deconstructing and re-imitating comic characters. He cut and layered images to form a completely new and dramatic compositions.
