This is a work by eugene soh, a visual artist from sngapore. I saw this on my face book feed and alot of people were commenting about his creativeness. I have come to wonder how do people percieve the creativity of this photo. The photo is a recreation of grant wood's american gothic. The photo is however of two singaporean actors. In other words this is a copy of the work of wood. I have no problem with people being inspired by other artists' works. However i feel this work does not give any new insight. Is this in singapore? Why is the man in a jacket? Was it because the man in the painting was wearing a jacket and so the maker of image had to make him wear a jacket as well? Why is the man in the photo holding a clothes hanging pole and how is it relevant to the background which the man is standing in?i feel that the image maker have not taken into account of the coherency of the image.
