SUPAKITCH & KORALIE

SUPAKITCH & KORALIE - VÄRLDSKULTUR MUSEET GÖTEBORG from elr°y on Vimeo.

I found this video online. It shows us the process of these two artists as they make a piece together. I find this video to be interesting. I find it to be fascinating, entertaining, and fun to watch. Why is that? Is it because they are passionate? Is it because we see the hand at work? Are they passionate?

The video itself is fairly well done. Good music (for me) and decent camera angles and transitions. It shows us clearly but quickly how they work and how they arrange their elements.

Why did they do this? Do we like the finished product more or do we just enjoy watching the process? Would we enjoy the process if we had to watch it in real time? Is this illustration or painting in mixed media?

Supakitch and Koralie are two French 'Street' artists who have joined together to create work. They have worked on the streets and have also showed their work on gallery walls.

A lot of this... interview deals with the difference between 'street' art and 'gallery' art. What are the differences? Can 'street' art be in galleries? (they have an interesting response to that) The interview also deals with what inspires them and what they take their imagery from which happens to be from Japanese manga. They've done in work in France, New York, and Mexico. They keep getting asked to draw these characters and they keep doing it. What about their work is appealing to us? How much of it is the work? How much of it is them?

They talk about work, authenticity, style, adaptation, originality. What do people think about them? Too much of the same thing. Inspiring clash of french and japanese styles. Deviant Art King and Queen. Beautiful awe-inspiring couple.

I like their work and I love their videos but I feel like they have fallen into a common trap. Their work is all very similar. Meaning if they change people can feel like they 'sold out' and if they don't change they become a 'one-trick-pony'.

Are they passionate? Why do we like/dislike this? What can we take from this?
