|
Ants made of stainless steel and lacquer have always been a favored subject in Chen’s work.
|
|
|
The coldness of these man-made materials blend with the natural characteristics of ants, forcing us
|
|
|
to reflect on the colony-like structure of China, especially the acts of living and moving at a time of social
|
|
|
transformation. After these ants are modeled, enlarged, and colored, they are juxtaposed and placed
|
|
|
in different public places, which creates visual estrangement, and even anxiety. At the same time, Chen
|
|
|
transforms and transplants the ants into real contexts, to immense dramatic and symbolic effect.
|
|
|
The strange appearance of these ants both symbolizes and concretizes increased material consumption
|
|
|
in Chinese society today.
