This powerful left foot that refuses to comprise its faith. “Left Food” is inspired by Bruce Lee’s streamlined left kick that always marked the opening of an aggressive attack. Borrowing the fighting style is the artist’s way of paying a tribute to this Asian Kong Fu star and legend. On the other hand, the artist also skillfully brings along the message about his family shoe business – the mainstream styles of shoes. This slightly rebellious attitude makes Chang Li Ren’s young girl from “Classic Skin Flick” series to naturally blink to the audience. Chang Li Ren also acquired his source of inspiration from the Japanese Yakyuken, while using the character “young girl” from the classical art. Through a series of detailed imitation and computer animation, the motionless figure within the frame brings to live from the history of western art textbook. She begins to undress herself in front of her imaginary audience; at the same time, the onlookers are given an unusual experience of spying on others. Chang Li Ren’s artworks give a gentle reminder on the original purpose of the skin flick- the desire of engaging voyeurism with an expectation of sexual excitement. In this case, we are completely taken by surprise by the choice of protagonists: Jean-François Millet’s Shepherd Girl or John Everett Millais’s Bridesmaid. “Classic Skin Flick” is mischievously whispering to our ears “Classics never had been a full stop, but a start of an unlimited future”. As soon as the light of our imagination leads the way, we are continuously moving forward to the mysterious future of uncertainty.
