Wang Lang
Lei Feng vs. VISION (Detail)
Digital photograph mosaic on canvas (2008)
125 cm X 90 cm Limited edition prints (18 + 2 AP)
From a series of works entitled “Illusional Reality and Dependent Origination”.
Below is an excerpt of an explanation for this series by the artist as translated from the Chinese original:
"A portrait of ‘Lei Feng’, who was held up as a social role model in China during the 1950’s and 1960’s, alternatively may be composed of innumerable photos of the covers of ‘VISION’, a model magazine for leading trends in fashion, so as to juxtapose the value orientations of two different eras and contexts within the same two-dimensional picture - entering into a wholly new quadrant resulting from the disintegration of time and space. In fact, it possesses an utter ‘virtuality’. " --- Wang Lang
