Wang Zi - On a Weekend
Almost comical in his juxtaposition, Wang Zi embodies satire and irony in his cleverly constructed works. The artist finds especial delight in the art of realistic painting and the ability to integrate fantastical situations as actual happenings. He possesses the technique of being able to turn imagination into a sombre historical event. Intrigued by the personalities of iconic figures behind the rose-tinted view of film and pop culture images, Wang Zi sometimes includes himself as a subject, caught in mundane everyday tasks with a popular celebrity. Through these almost comical situations, he wishes to display the icons on screens as the human beings they are - a disillusionment that struck him on the passing of Chairman Mao. He noticed the regression from a Demi-God of Political China to being simply a human being, albeit a powerful one, who bled and breathed the same as any other.
