“Breathing” by Satr in Laon, France for Festival Des Arts Urbains curated by Christian Guemy (C215). Satr is a young Chinese artist who uses only 4 colors for her walls.
Breathing is the most natural acts, no need to be deliberate at all. Breathe in, breathe out. Slow down the beast inside you, learn to calm yourself in spite of all the disturbances outside.
Satr: I’m the kind of person who gets nervous relatively easily, and when I arrived in Europe last week, I couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous in a new environment. But my new friends LEDANIA and SONG said, “Don’t be nervous, Satr. exhale, inhale, just feel your breath.” After that, I really wasn’t so overwhelmed. That night I went back to the hotel and thought back to this experience that had happened during the day. The idea slowly took shape as I drew and listened to their music.
I named it “Breathing”:
“Breathing is the most natural acts, no need to be deliberate at all. Breathe in, breathe out. Slow down the beast inside you, learn to calm yourself in spite of all the disturbances outside.”
Satr: My draft concept is; A lot of things have happened in the past year, and each thing will have different answers in different positions. I drew a mountain lion. The flame is its consciousness. It ignites in front of it and surrounds it in a circle. I hope that anyone who sees this work will find a peaceful mood. Face these things calmly.
About SATR: She works and lives in Guangzhou (China) and has been doing street art since 2013. Her original spray painting atomization shape method makes her animals very dynamic, taking fog as the shape.
This is different from the realistic shaping of western oil painting, and deeply studies the permeability of graffiti spray paint, so that her works still have the charm of ink in addition to peeling off traditional Chinese painting tools.
SATR’s works can see the profound exuberance of western graffiti and the soft “XieYi “(traditional Chinese painting style in vivid expression and bold outline) brushwork of oriental painting, which runs through her works all the time. The signature of the ancient seal cutting style is the oriental imprint that she conveys to the outside world.
