Sun Yuan and Peng Yu pieces revolves mostly around thought-provoking themes, they've created installations that had concepts on perception, death, and the human condition, and the medium to potray their ideas involve live animals, taxidermy, human fat, baby cadavers, and robotics.

Recently a lot of tiktok videos featured the piece, ‘Can’t Help Myself,’ which was initially commissioned for the Guggenheim Museum in 2016 as part of their ‘Tales of Our Time’ exhibit. Three years later, the robotic art reappeared for the Venice Biennale 2019 in ‘May You Live in Interesting Times.’

*Notice how people perceive art and how accessible it is nowadays*

With the help of two robotics engineers, Yuan and Yu brought the machine to life with a series of 32 movements. This piece aged from 2016 until recently when it 'died.' It was switched off and that in itself was a very emotional artistic expression for a lot of people. Relating it to our lesson, this piece is a great representation of texture: Contrast in Material, Relief or Age, and Time.

ART You can see texture everywhere. Notice the textures around you. The material of your chair, the coarse grains of the carpet, and the fluffy softness of the clouds in the sky all invoke feelings. As artists and those who appreciate it, regular exercise in recognizing texture can do wonders for your experience.

In real life textures can actually be used for survival. Our perception of whether something is slippery, slimy, scaly or fuzzy could mean the difference between life and death.

RELEVANCE

In fashion, the texture of the material used may determine the price of the item, the exclusivity, or it may also dictate the use for it. It also plays a role in the way a potential buyer would purchase an item depending on how comfortable they feel the material is

RELEVANCE

In architecture and interior design, a common practice wherever you go is to look for the textures or materials used around the space, and reflect on how it affects the users. Does the material make the maintenance team have a difficult time cleaning? Does the texture help the differently abled to navigate through public spaces?

RELEVANCE

In industrial design, the same practice applies, the distinct differences in buttons or texture of a product can mean different things and ultimately help guide the differently abled people in utilizing the products with ease.

UNDERSTANDING

2021

Textures are described by a whole host of adjectives. Rough and smooth are two of the most common, but they can be further defined. You might also hear words like coarse, bumpy, rugged, fluffy, lumpy, or pebbly when referring to a rough surface. For smooth surfaces, words like polished, velvety, slick, flat, and even can be used.

UNDERSTANDING

2021

Take rocks, for example. A real rock might feel rough or smooth and it definitely feels hard when touched or picked up. A painter depicting a rock would create the illusions of these qualities through the use of other elements of art such as color, line, and shape.

UNDERSTANDING

2021

At its most basic, texture is defined as a tactile quality of an object's surface. It appeals to our sense of touch, which can evoke feelings of pleasure, discomfort, or familiarity.

Artists use this knowledge to elicit emotional responses from people who view their work. The reasons for doing so vary greatly, but texture is a fundamental element in many pieces of art.

DEFINING TERMS TEXTURE Texture is basically raised relief. It’s one of seven elements of art. It is commonly the term used to describe the way a three-dimensional work actually feels when touched. In two-dimensional work, such as painting, it may refer to the way an object feels to the touch or looks as it may feel if it were touched.

DEFINING TERMS Implied Texture and Physical Texture When making a work of visual art, you should consider the two types of texture, known as physical (or actual) texture and visual (or implied) texture.

DEFINING TERMS Physical Texture The physical texture of a work of art refers to its tactile texture that you can feel when you touch it. For example, the physical texture of a work of art may be soft, hard, smooth or rough.

DEFINING TERMS Implied Texture Artists who create works of art on a two-dimensional surface, such as painters or draftsmen, are creating a visual texture of their work by manipulating materials on their canvas. The illusion of a 3D surface, a simulation to imitate real textures

DEFINING TERMS Invented Texture These are 2-D patterns created by the repetition of lines of shapes

DEFINING TERMS 3D Texture The way an object feels to the touch physically

DEFINING TERMS 2D Texture The way an object looks as it may feel, a simulation of the real texture done usually in visual form.

DEFINING TERMS Rough Textures These textures reflect light unevenly.

DEFINING TERMS Smooth Textures These textures reflect light evenly.

DEFINING TERMS Matte A surface that reflects a soft, dull light. Shiny surfaces are the opposite of matte.

DEFINING TERMS Impasto A painting technique in which the paint is built up on the surface to create a texture

2D Texture in Two-Dimensional Art Artists working in a two-dimensional medium also work with texture and the texture may either be real or implied. Photographers, for instance, almost always work with the reality of texture when creating art. Yet, they can enhance or downplay that through the manipulation of light and angle.

2D Texture in Two-Dimensional Art In painting, drawing, and printmaking, an artist often implies texture through the use of brushstrokes lines as seen in cross-hatching. When working with the impasto painting technique or with collage, the texture can be very real and dynamic.

2D Texture is something that artists can play with through the manipulation of their medium and materials. For instance, you can draw a rose on a rough textured paper and it won't have the softness of one drawn on a smooth surface. Likewise, some artists use less gesso to prime canvas because they want that texture to show through the paint they apply to it. When drawing or painting texture, it is important to pay close attention to the values - they reveal the illusion of texture.

Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh (1889): Though this is a two-dimensional work, Van Gogh’s famous Post-Impressionist painting of a village in the silhouette of a starry sky is an example of threedimensional texture. The scene is rendered in impasto painting technique, with thick, visible brushstrokes standing out from the surface of the canvas.

TEXTURE IN THREE DIMENSIONAL ART Three-dimensional artwork relies on texture and you cannot find a piece of sculpture or pottery that does not include it. Fundamentally, the materials used give a piece of art texture. That may be marble, bronze, clay, metal, or wood, but this sets the foundation for the work feels if it were touched.

2021

TEXTURE IN THREE DIMENSIONAL ART As the artist develops a piece of work, they can add more texture through technique. One might sand, polish, or buff a surface smooth or they might give it a patina, bleach it, gouge it, or otherwise rough it up.

2021

TEXTURE IN THREE DIMENSIONAL ART Three-dimensional artists often use a contrast of texture as well. One element of an artwork may be smooth as glass while another element is rough and mangled. This contradiction adds to the impact of the work and can help convey their message just as strongly as a piece made of one uniform texture.

David by Michelangelo (1501–1504): Sculpted during the Italian Renaissance, Michelangelo’s masterful sculpture of the Biblical king David was chiseled entirely out of marble. In sculpting it, Michelangelo’s use of texture yielded a shiny, smooth surface that emphasizes the subject’s physique.

Le Chat by Alberto Giacometti (1955): Modern sculptor Alberto Giacometti is most famous for his sculptures of long, skinny figures constructed with roughly-applied passages of bronze. In Le Chat, he turned to a cat as his subject matter, which is also constructed with a hard, bumpy texture in opposition to the typical soft fur of a cat.
