Liang Chang Sheng "World of Joyblins"
The Chelsea Art Museum
This event has ended.
Liang Chang Sheng uses brush ink to create long scroll line drawings featuring fantastic figures in a narrative that winds across different levels of existence. He also employs different media such as paper cutting, sculpture, and acrylic painting. Liang’s work deconstructs and restructures traditional Chinese cultural context. His works simultaneously present the familiar and the unfamiliar to both Eastern and Western audiences, inviting his viewers to a wonderland.
Liang created his Ultimate Happiness world by applying a thin brush on paper. He populates this painting with a repetitive series of magical creatures he calls Joyblins (He Le), who exist in a peaceful, harmonious, joyful and utopian world. These creatures require no food, so they are not encumbered by body parts for digestion and the body can be freely transformed into any form and shape. It is a world without hierarchy, conflict, competition, or ethnic discrimination. This world is not bounded by time and space. Everyone can move without limit. Eternal joy is the essence of this world.
