Humour may be fundamental to human experience, but its expression in painting and sculpture has been limited. In the past, a sense of humour has been widely present throughout artworks including the Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting, caricatures, biting English satires, and 20th-century comics. The humour of classical modernism records the gradual disappearance of old orders and transforms them into a positive through laughter, or celebrates it as something entirely new, as a reformation of tradition. Welcome to Oceanic Soiree’s crazy, funny, thoughtful artistic world.
