20 - 6 - 14 Billboard Person from Melting Chaos -

[SlenderManBearPig]

I'm pretty sure this is new, I haven't seen it around here before. Fresh from Chris's Flickr:



The description : "After my house fire on January 10, 2014, I recycled some of the Lego pieces that melted and created this art piece of Chaos from melting flame. I call it, "Billboard Person from Melting Chaos". By Christian Weston Chandler, February, 2014."

Nice to see that Chris has his priorities in order.

 

[QueenMegan]

Pretty neat. It's better than his other lego creations.

I guess even house fires are better builders than he is.

Also some MLP on the screen in the third picture.

Without sounding like a ween nor am I advocating it, but has anyone ever submitted his artwork and sculptures to a community of outsider artists and outsider art enthusiasts?

"art piece of Chaos from melting flame"

Oh dear god....Chris has gone Hipster Artist

 

[FramerGirl420]

considering what he had to work with, Chris did a great job at building a mini hoarde replica IMHO

 

[RP 520]

He recycled his legos? I hope he drank a lot of orange fanta with them so the bricks went down easily.

As crazy as it might sound, I think Chris would have success in that scene.

It also appeals to his lazyness.

Chris should build a LEGO pornset next to a LEGO scene of a marriage, and have video clips of him humping the PS3 running in a loop on a wall made of video screens in the background.

And presto! He has made an installation! Title? "Love/TROLL"

Drugs are like that.

The episode of My Little Pony going in the background is a nice touch.

In a sense this has already happened, in that folks on deviantART have been making parodies and commentaries on Sonichu since the very beginning. I think anyone who makes an artistic response to Sonichu would have to be characterized as an outsider art enthusiast in some fashion.

 

[SlenderManBearPig]

The way it leans away from the fire and the screaming mural face thing, you could easily bullshit that it's 'a cry of terror at a life changing event' or something.
It's kinda sad that this is probably the best thing he's ever made.

 

[Le Bateleur]

I love this. Best thing Chris has done since the Lego Mario Kart animations.

The primal energy of the fire has taken the straight lines and rigid structure from the Lego bricks and subverted it into more organic curves and waves.

It's a reminder that the world is very much older than we are, and everything we build will one day fall into nature's hand, and be reshaped or destroyed entirely.

The soda cup, empty boxes and aged tv set are the perfect finishing touches - this is the pinnacle and the nadir of Western civilisation: we're overdue a corrective act of Gaia.

tl:dr I really like it for hipster reasons.

 

[Chrus Chundlur]

Yeah, this is by far his best work.

The name is still pretty retarded, though...

All he needs in order to take the artworks by storm/make a good living of doing the same crap he is making now, is a cynical asshole as a manager, who got the right connections with the art-scene and galleries.

Said asshole also should have a gift for writing stuff like: "Sonichu is a razorsharp commentary on the commercialization of childhood, and the borderlands between copyright, creativity and imagination..."

Or "Manchester Highschool is a meditation on nostalgia, and a nod at the institution of High School as it exists in our culture and creative language. As permanent and immovable in our collective unconsciousness as the material it's made in: LEGOs. A choice of material that also serves as a little wink to the audience from the artist, and like the installation itself asks: What are our memories made of?"

Hmm... That actually wasn't bad...Maybe I should find my hipster-suit and set cruise control for Ruckersville?

Yeah in all honesty I have no idea what he means by "Billboard Person". I'm surprised though he didn't describe it as his life after the trolls found him.

 

[SlenderManBearPig]

I think billboard person refers to the face mural next to the flame.

Hand sanitizer! Cuz you know, walking to the bathroom to wash the soot off your hands is too much work.

 

[Varis]

In the background we see MHS 1.0 (looks like he did buy all the sets again ) and a framed picture of... ... LEGO Chris.

How can something be so sad and so aggravating at the same time?

Go! Fapcup! Go out and sleaze to the extreme!
