CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
China Pavilion, the original painting was remade into a 3D animated digital version titled River of Wisdom. I am now adopting this again into a contemporary manner by using video footage which I have recorded at Tianamen square in Beijing. My work will particularly make reference to tourists who are today mostly populating the square and to the Tianamen square protests in 1989. So the topic is now the public space, and my interpretation of the theme is about citizenship and the relationship of the individual and society. I always had planned to make three video paintings related to Eastern scroll paintings because I finally want to show them together as a triptych.
