Artwork Appreciation
LIANG You-Ning uses fine strands of hair as an artistic element in his artwork to convey inner contradictions that also serve as a critique and imagination of the outside world. Artificial Mudslide is a portrayal of a disastrous mudslide of hair that just kept growing. Buried within these mudslides are heads with hidden faces, while cement-mixing trucks are scattered along the hilltops, oblivious to the disaster around them. The artist hopes to portray how people would eventually reap the fruits they have sown out of their own selfish interests and survival, and their vain attempts to stop natural disasters while destroying the natural world.
