Sweet Fatty

Artist's note

Artist’s work Sweet Fatty embodies the passive and bloated inner self due to the actions of modern media. Through colourful and various colours, it is ex-pressed in the form of a person who feels anxious about the medium’s strong

attraction. In particular, through this artwork, the artist speaks about humans as more complex and incomprehensible beings than the diversity of modern society. The colourful and cute fancy-feeling works that appear in the artist’s

work are only a symbol of the surface, and inside this work, they represent the fierce and ambivalent aspect of the human world.

Introduction

On top of the front door to the Wadong branch school building sits a red sculpture. The eyes, nose, and arms all form one lump. As the title Sweet fatty goes, it looks cute and colorful at a glance. Yet, in this human statue, the artist put the existential message of exploring the anxious human subject, quite different from its appearance. The artist critically presents the dual aspects of today’s people, the pathological subject who falls into the abyss as they live on an island, isolated from others.
