Absurd Consultations

作品賞析

LIAO Yu-An’s works are often filled with pop and cartoon elements and symbolize various psychological scenarios experienced in modern individual lives. Absurd Consultations uses repeated floral colors and patterns to create a two-dimensional space filled with lovely atmosphere. The picture depicts a dog and a rabbit supporting each other as they struggle to achieve balance. The dog has lost a leg and must rely on the rabbit for support. However, the rabbit is simply too short and can only perform his job by standing on a box. The box, on the other hand, seems to be stuffed with two other creatures who are sacrificing themselves to this purpose. Although the rabbit and dog seem to be working well together, there are some concessions that have not been revealed at all. Anthropomorphic animals as well as a humorous analogy are used by the artist as a satirical jab at the odd phenomenon in the modern society.
