Ying Yang Series "Soul and Form"

We visited the National Visual Arts Gallery on the 8th of June 2013 together as a group as we were unable to join the class trip on the 1st of June 2013. The journey to this gallery is challenging as it took us an hour to get there. We used four types of GPS; Papago, Google Maps, Garmin & Waze to find our directions however, all four brought us to the police station nearby. Therefore, we had to find our own way manually; stopping here and there to ask around. The moment we arrived, the total happiness was not understood by anybody else but us.

There are three floors and 6 rooms of arts. However, we didn't understand well all the 4 rooms on the first and second floor; spending most of our time in the ground floor. We picked our own favourite drawings on respective views and each and every of us found at least a few interesting drawings. Well, after long consideration, I finally picked this drawing by Lee Kian Send to be shared.

Ying Yang Series "Soul and Form" is a drawing by Lee Kian Seng. It may be a misspelling of the name as the meaning of the painting to me is similar to the term Yin & Yang in Taoism which also means Kamasutra in another culture. There are four drawings as a series

In the first drawing, there are two girls looking at each other and holding their breasts using their hands as a support at the bottom of the breasts. Both of them have long silky hair and red clouds are all over the place.

Then, there is a naked girl standing alone at the middle of the second drawing. She has the similar long silky hair and the artist seems to be emphasizing on the breasts of the girl as the drawing are seen to be clearer than all the other parts. The girl isn't totally naked anyway. There is a dart plane blocking the bottom part of the body with the centre of the board directly in front of the female reproductive organ.

In the third drawing, there are a few characters seen. The environment is full of gigantic mushrooms everywhere. Firstly, there is a woman without any clothes sitting on a mushroom at the top of the drawing. Next, another woman is seen to be self-pleasuring at the middle part of the mushroom by rubbing the female reproductive organ to the smooth surface of the mushroom's "stump". Furthermore, there is a pair of couple procreating in the inner part of the mushroom. There is a big hole in the mushroom at the lower part of the drawing.

Last but not least, the similar scene on the first drawing is repeated on the last drawing. There are two girls with long silky hair holding the breasts from the bottom part of the breasts. However, these two girls are no longer looking at each other but looking at the opposite side; standing back-to-back.

Nakedness, breasts and reproductive organs are usually categorized as pornography by the public but they can be very fine and admirable art too if you are daring enough to take up the challenge to start a drawing on it and surely, there will be a number of art fans admiring your drawing.
