Loving Expressions Ontario Artist Exploring Dreams and Love Amanda Xu - North York, Ontario"Study in Canada for 3 years. I was born in China, main land. I finished the Art College in China. I draw, design, laugh and share the happiness and sadness, with family and friends. I am a simple person who wake up by cell phone’s morning call and paying bills." Amanda Xu "Bicycle and my love: This photography I took in downtown Toronto. I have the idea to express Love. The main object-bicycle as a transportation which indicates the movement, people fall in love and break up. The flower on the bicycle can be considered as a message of love also a high light color of the whole image. You can image a picture, the guy ride the bicycle to take his girlfriend to home.
Dreams: The painting expresses the dream or dreams. All objects have symbolic meaning. For example, the central object is a nude red hair woman who lies down on a red high-heeled shoe and surrounds with flowers- the sexual message.
Bird and Beast: I imitated this drawing base on a photo in a magazine. I got the religion inspiration to re-appreciate this work. The only woman represents two identities. The beginnings of the earth, the first woman, Eve, in the Garden of Eden, before eat the fruit with Adam. They were both naked and were not ashamed. The bird is her friend. The last day of the earth, everything destroys by human activities. The woman is also naked but ashamed. The bird is her only cover." Amanda Xu
