Once in while you come across some cool street art which is observed by a walk perhaps a smile, perhaps a photo with your cellphone and a quick share on Twitter or Facebook, maybe it’s a message, or maybe it’s The Bucket Men.

For The Bucket Men painting is just another way of keeping a diary.“The Bucket Men’s Adventures around the World”,   but who is the face behind the legend.

Jui-Ping Chang, a London based artist and she started ”The Bucket Men’s series while she was in London.  Bucket men are characters that represent timid little people who adventures in a world filled with chaos.  Bucket men use the buckets to cover their heads so that you will not be able to see the fear on their faces.  With the bucket on the heads, they won’t be able to see either, thus they become fearless of whatever dangers lay in front of them.

When she realized that bucket men are little souls inside herself, she was deeply inspired by creating these characters to express her real self.  Her inspiration continues pouring in, showing no signs of slowing down.  Whenever a new bucket men adventure is created, it is also the time I examine the meaning of life.  Viewers of her paintings will also get the strength and courage to embark on the journey of bucket men, a journey of adventures not limited by time or space.

About the Artist

Jui-Pin Chang was born in Taiwan in 1964 where she studied art at the University of Taipei, mastering traditional Chinese calligraphy and brush painting. She studied in the US, taught art classes in Canada, then moved to the UK in 2003.  She is now a full time artist in Taiwan, with frequent travels to the UK and EU nations.

"After teaching art for twenty years and having lived in the different countries. She became inspired to explore ideas relating to her own life and experience, as both a woman and a mother. Her most recent work blends a sense of menace with a quirky humour, men (with buckets over their heads) make us feel that they are dancing, but maybe at our expense: in awe; having fun; or as if something illusive, enigmatic or ambiguous, intangible or unrecognised, is going on", shares the artist.

Her imagination and perception about inner and outer world is very impressive, and this is what makes her a great artist. She has invented an interesting and adorable character 'The Bucketmen' for which she has received much deserved appreciation from all over the world.
