This work was created by the famed Chinese contemporary artist and sculptor Chen Wenling for his "Red Memories Series." Here we see an adult and child. The adult appears waifish, standing on his head, supporting the child with both feet. This series takes on the artist's nostalgia toward childhood.These children are pure and innocent, overflowing with a beauty that stems from wild unrestraint. The piece evokes a longing and reminiscence of a time past. In China, bright red is an auspicious color that represents spring and happiness, and combined with themes of childhood, it creates multiple layers of societal and historical meaning. In the past ten years, sculpture has played an increasingly significant role in the forward momentum of conceptual art in China, but Chen Wenling prefers a self-expression derived from personal experience. The "Red Child Series" takes a singular form to express a singular theme. This singular form itself possesses a beauty worth appreciating.
