Feng Li: Garden

Feng's unique vision is characterized by surprising juxtapositions, tongue-in-cheek humor, bright textures and colors, all yielding a sense of the absurd and even the uncanny within the urban landscape.  The quotidian is examined under a bright flash, populated by inscrutable yet compelling characters: a figure in a glaring green fur and wig-like hair blending into an equally green house plant; twin sisters climbed atop of an enormous fake lotus flower which, upon close exmination, is a broken part of an giant Buddhist sculpture of another era.  The humorous and the sinister, and the real and the surreal, share a single frame: an uneasy, startling balance of violence and satire without any context.
