Locusts

Life experiences have left their mark on much of the work of Mu Pan (Taichung City, Taiwan, 1976), and Locusts refers to traumatic moments from his childhood. Monkeys play a key role in Mu Pan’s work. For him, monkeys represent human nature in its rawest form, without filters. The Asian-American artist Mu Pan has made mixing cultures his personal brand. His works present multiple narrative layers, personal reflections on human behaviour where humour and violence often come together.
