The Tasks of the Great Red Man
2013
Guan Gong in the style of Zhongyi Fang holds a mop instead of a sword. Does the traditional value of spurs in the past no longer have any use today? The artist uses the rich and appetizing Guan Gong to convey the helplessness and powerlessness that today's society lacks the standard of right and wrong. In today's society, we often encounter helplessness and the feeling that justice is impossible. The artist uses the character codes of the industry's history, breaks away from the traditional style, completely deconstructs, and uses the cue ball to eliminate the concept. Creating a different sense of this bridge by reflecting on the decadence of society, and the person with genitals should be an appropriation of the portrait of Mao Zedong. In ancient and modern times, there is no shortage of genitals/two figures as creative symbols representing the limits of power.
