About the artwork

With his comical and endearing take on figurative representation, Wu Qiong once again engages in social commentary by creating Laura, a character beyond social convention. Regardless of whether male or female, the moustached figure is resplendent in flamboyant cabaret apparel. The character looks upwards with characteristic facial expressions of closed eyes and open mouths - but seems to exhibit pride and confidence rather than bewildered idealism.



About the artist

Wu Qiong was born in Beijing, China in 1981. He graduated from the Beijing Shi Fan University in 2001 and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 2006. Both sculptor and painter, Wu creates art that represents the childhood that he and many others of his generation remembered and in doing so, creates touching and amusing portraits of childhood that are distinctly contemporary in the Chinese art scene. Acclaimed both internationally and locally, Wu Qiong has participated in various international art fairs, including Art Miami, Art Cologne and Bridge Art Fair.
