Description

Created in 1982, 'Donut Revenge' stands nearly 2.4 meters tall, marking the pinnacle of Baschia's artistic career as a landmark masterpiece. The background of the painting is filled with brilliant and warm pink, white, black, yellow, and red strokes, and a striking figure floats like an angel. A powerful arc extends from his stretched limbs; One arm was scorching blue purple, while the other arm emitted smoke like lines, as if it was being grilled in the scorching heat. The halo above his head shone brightly, shining with dazzling flames. On the other side, a huge dialog box appeared with some illegible black scrawls. These elements highlight the visual tension of the characters, which is not only similar to cartoons and cartoons, but also traceable to Abstract expressionism and classical master tradition. His wide eyes, layered facial features, and round figure add a touch of humor to the picture, and the "little chubby man with chicken legs" written on his chest makes people smile more knowingly. Whether this image is a martyr, a voodoo god, a Self-portrait, or a good medicine that Baschia gave to the art world in the 1980s, we have no way to know now; Just like the indescribable marks in the dialogue box, Baschia undoubtedly raised his arms and shouted, but its meaning was ultimately ambiguous. In a series of artistic history collisions under Baschia's pen, this work truly ranks among the top masterpieces. The combination of architectural colors and electric lines in 'Donut Revenge' creates this vivid, elusive and mysterious image.
