Description
Artwork
As he explores the cultural and social impact between east and west Li Lihong starts in 2007 several series of ceramics such as “Mac Donald’s – China” or “Nike – China”. These works will project him on the international artistic scene. His apple “Apple – China”, is clearly one of his most famous works. In transforming the logo of the famous American company into sculptures, that are either silver or gold, adorned with traditional Chinese patterns (dragons, clouds…), he symbolizes perfectly the complex relations of these two great economical powers, between confrontation and fusion, dialogue and contradiction.
In this Art For All piece, Li Lihong has made and edition of this mythical work in an accessible format, proving us how much the message carried out in his work isn’t limited to size and in this case can even be concentrated in the palm of our hands.
