Satr

(China, 1995)

Satr’s original technique of using spray paint atomization to create unique contours and shapes gives the animals in her paintings a dynamic edge and smoky feel. She experiments with and widely researches the use of transparent graffiti spray paint. The integration of traditional Chinese culture and art making processes are the basis of Satr’s work, further emphasized by her use of an ancient seal-engraved signature.

“This piece highlights the endangered plight of whale sharks, whose survival is increasingly at risk due to human activity. In the artwork, three whale sharks appear, though only one is fully present. The other two, shown as faint silhouettes, represent the spirits of lost companions, reflecting the dwindling numbers of this remarkable species. The title, Starlit, is inspired by the star-like patterns on the whale shark’s back, reminiscent of stars in the night sky. In the upper right corner, a red crystal glows, as if guiding them toward an inevitable fate.” / Satr
