Artwork Appreciation
Artist CUEI Yong-Yan also publishes picture books apart from painting and sculpture. Her creation of “The Circus of Den-Den-Ciao-Jean” is formed by a group of dwarves who could not blend in with reality but live in the world of fantasy. These dwarves live in the illusionary and fun circus with life depending on unprofessional performance. “HULA” is a character of the circus. He looks round, childish and lovely. He is pigeon-toed, tilting his head in doubts and performing unpopular HULA. The artist reflects the discontent and doubts for the reality to the audience through this work, which also corresponds to us living in loopholes with attempt to escape from the reality.
