Monroe is enjoying a bath while wearing a face mask.
‘Wearing a face mask’ is a popular skincare routine today, aimed at enhancing beauty. It’s also like putting on a disguise, temporarily hiding your true self and adding a sense of mystery.
The ‘petal-filled bathtub’ creates a relaxing and cozy scene, showing that Monroe is in a private moment of rest.

About the artist

Tu Hsin-Ying
杜信穎 (1995-),畢業於國立臺北藝術大學美術系,以壓克力顏料作為主要創作媒材。
杜信穎的創作靈感來自安迪沃荷知名的版畫作品《瑪莉蓮夢露》。不像安迪沃荷的夢露是鎂光燈的焦點、名氣的象徵,杜信穎的夢露系列更像是一齣詼諧荒謬的喜劇表演。他筆下的夢露不再是風情萬種的性感女神,而如同你我一樣必須不斷對抗生活中的麻煩瑣事,不僅會發胖、沒工作、內衣褲還會被調皮的鸚鵡偷走。
飽和的色彩、搶眼的圖像與滑稽的敘事性構成了杜信穎創作的主旋律,在這個「夢露」時空裡面,觀眾可以跟著夢露一起去荒島度假,所有生活裡的荒謬、無能為力、不夠完美都能被理解。
