Sorry, Your Abstraction is Beyond My Understanding

Yesterday we visited the Singapore Art Museum which was having theme of contemporary art in Southeast Asia. To be frank, I can hardly understand those
abstract arts. I do not know how to describe what I just saw yesterday. I believe what I exactly saw yesterday is far beyond my description and understanding so l would like to just show you some pictures. One typical example is a work called Pink Man in which the artist put an extremely strange and even scary pink man into the pictures of a massacre happened in 1976. I thought its theme was anti-violence, but the introduction says it “critique consumerist culture and capitalist linkage in politics…..raise the question of the meaning and ownership of history”. Those artists always have extraordinary ways to see things.
Unlike that traditional and classic arts focus on the beauty of the world and present the beauty of the world to people from a lot of different angles, the contemporary arts often involve issues like violence, drugs, human nature and many other issues that people do not usually pay attention to. For a long time, art always sounds so holy and unfathomable to me, and my concept of contemporary art is a lot of strange and odd things which are created by artists to express their feelings. However, this journey gives me an even stranger feeling about the contemporary arts.
Some of the contemporary arts might initially intend to raise people’s awareness of a certain issue like abortion and they did successfully achieved that, but some other artists either present their good-intended idea in a too weird way or simply want to look enigmatic and not care too much about the content—and this has been a trend in contemporary art. Those artists seem not to care about whether their work is art as long as their work looks “contemporary”. Of course everybody can choose to express their ideas in their own way, especially the contemporary artist, but I don’t think a work that most people cannot figure out what exactly it is talking about is a good one. And isn’t it a bit cruel to let a tourist like me to feel uncomfortable the whole week after viewing those works with initial expectations to see something real fantastic and creative?
