Wang Qingsong

Wang Qingsong. Competition. 2011.

Wang Qingsong, a Chinese artist who often depicts societal changes in China, set up a full–scale tableaux to shoot. I believe this piece of art is an extraordinary piece of work. The complexity shown successfully metaphors Chinese societal changes that the artist so often focuses on. It seems that signs of businesses are being torn down by a group of people. The overwhelming amount of posters is combated by the vast population of Chinese people. There is strength in numbers. The people will not be controlled.
