Relation - 1704 toys
My artwork is influenced by the way I identity myself as a kidult. The term kidult is a compound word of „kid‟ and „adult‟. Kidults prefer items that society deems more suitable for a younger person, A so-called grown-up who doesn't want to grow up and would instead prefer so-called “children‟s” stuff for entertainment like cartoons, toys, comic books, Disney movies etc. The position of adults who live contemporary society alone, leads to psychological unrest, because of the inner ego that has not yet grown completely but exists as an adult in the society, people suffer in confusion.
Toys are objects that have always inhabited an ambiguous zone and allow us to escape from reality. They can serve adults, as much as children, as a means of expressing anxieties, longing, fantasies and so on. Toy is unstable entity sometimes could be difficult to distinguish between adult uses of miniaturized objects and children’s toys.
The vague attribute of toys are very interesting as a child-like adult myself, toy is not the objects I want to play with, they are just objects preferred to collect, remind me my childhood, the subject for my painting.
