My Recent Work - "50% Off"

"50% Off" Digital Collage / 2011

This piece was done a week ago. I have always wanted to do a discount theme for my series, and "50% Off" just being one. Elements in this work sort of represent matters that we value as a capitalistic society, where everything could be merchandised including human beings. We have gone so far from the good-natured simply hunters and gatherers and evolved into insatiable mega consumers with a big mouth and an ego that mother can't love. This piece reflects the sentiment that I have for a long time, for human beings are selling out their souls for the momentary material gain to which they can't ultimately keep.

Mechanical Interjection I (Color Version)

OK, this is the follow piece I did following the similar genre of the Frozen Scene piece. I am a fetish for all thing that has intricate mechanical look and feel, so naturally I want to use as much of them in my art as it possibly can be allowed. Anyhow, I am excited that I was accepted by the Godo Gallery in Glendale, CA to exhibit some of my works done within this year in this coming end of the June. Hope with more group exhibits with help me establish a better audience other than me and myself......LOL!
Well, as far as to the meaning of this piece, I think the total encroachment and infestation of technological matters sipping into humanity has taken its toll on our psyche and our behavioral changes. We no longer are the innocent savages of the bygone time, but instead the technologically marvelous beasts with computer chips and iPod surrounding our lives 24hrs a day, so are we happier now? Something to ponder after my conveyer belt sushi breakfast......
