Abstract

In Toni Antonius' work exhibited in the performance with the theme Reimagine Renaissance is a painting entitled Not Everything Can Be Hung." The painting has a different concept from paintings in general. The painting breaks the audience's expectations by creating a painting that is not hung but is simply placed on the floor with the back of the painting supported by the wall. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method, namely describing the suitability of the theory obtained to the hypothesis of the research object. A review of Peirce's triadic sign semiotics is applied to determine the meaning of the painting. In addition, a review of the design style applied to the painting, not everything can be hung, uses a combination of Victorian and Renaissance design styles, using techniques such as chiaroscuro, anatomical studies, linear perspective, scale, atmospheric perspective, and sfumato, which are implemented in the painting. The study concludes that the painting's design style is a mix of Victorian and Renaissance styles; not everything can be hung.
