Wang Qingsong depicts the contradictions that exist in Chinese contemporary society. With his monumental staged photographs, he wittily represents a transformed, globalized China and all its social, economic and cultural tensions.
Romantique makes the viewer enter what looks like both the Western representation of heaven and a Chinese garden. The photograph includes a Chinese Buddha and men posing as famous works by Botticelli, Raphael, and Matisse. The fake plastic green leaves in the background hint at the artificiality of this confusing grouping of Western and Chinese elements. Hence, this work highlights the chaotic and ambiguous results of China’s embrace of Western culture.
