walking in soho

  • Siru Zhao
his art work is very based on the term of people, walking in the area SOHO.
SOHO,is already becomes a symbol of fashion, art and a unique life style sought after by others. This should be all attributed to SOHOers. galleries, creative companies, theaters, cafes are everywhere in this area, people walks in a store and disappeared around the corner, with their very unique and impressive style. When I starting at them, I had some incredible feeling of amazing interlace between SOHO, their rail of life and mine, with all the stories behind.This combination, creativity, diversity and vitality of culture, art and life, made by people based there, is the inspirit of SOHO.So,we decided to create something about people in SOHO. We did a lot life drawing about the walkers around. Most of them have hurried pace with their own lovely and distinct style of dressing. We observed of these pedestrians from day to night, from noisy ,busy to quiet and peace.

Then, we simplify this human dynamics and shapes of their dressing in a side view,using strong sketch lines drew by computer, put them in the whole frame of window in the Location 1, and make them move from empty to crowed and empty again shows the changes of SOHO from fast but also very regular rhythm in a daily whole day time.

There could a reflection and metaphor from walking people that be sketched in the window to the people walking in the real life. Meanwhile, we wish that from presenting our work, SOHOer could have a look back on their own and even just for one second, they could be confident and proud of what they build of the sprint of SOHO.
