Chen Wenlings Artworks Show
- His works are immensely allegorical, both the man and things are magnified embodiments of “desire”. The most conspicuous feature of his art works is the modelling of a sense of “expansion”.
- The image of “pig” is his basic subject matter or a carrier for the certain conception. He thinks the various symbolisms of pigs and their speed of growth coincide with the reality of China. The reason why he selected pig as his subject matter is that the image of pig carries a powerful internal signification.
- Chen’s art is strongly neo-realistic. He sensitively perceives the hedonism growing in the society at the age of rapidly swelling consumerism. An artistic language to express, reveal and criticise this worldly reality is what he seeks and he finally finds his channel of expression by resorting to the “biological being” common to both man and animal.

Interesting Personal Experience

- He is a Gemini, B-type blood, declined landlord classs descendant. When he was a young man, he has done the farming, has worked as a village painter. Perhaps these experiences have influenced on his artistic makings, which full of uncertainty and sensitivity.
