Chen Zhiguang 陈志光 - OpenART 2015 14.06 06.09

	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.
