“Even the workers who do the smallest tasks accomplish an important work every day.”
François Michelin, Hors-série Michelin, Ed. La Montagne, 2007
At the crossroads of cultures and worlds, Li Lihong never ceases to surprise us with his hybrid figures that emerge from the encounter of art and contemporary iconography.
His latest work Michelin China finds its shape in both religious art and publicity. In a state of meditation, the Michelin mascot, famous icon of the French brandthat brings to mind throughout the world, gastronomic excellency and luxury, is now portrayed as a Buddha. His impassive face, practically fading away as the fea- tures underline a serene face that inspires a profound feeling of calm and relaxation that contrasts with the high sense of parody that comes from the cultural clash. In such, the colors and patterns that ornate this work relate either to temple idols or to ancient Chinese pottery reminding us how much Li Lihong is a master at creating bridges between the ancient and the contemporary. The artist brings a smile to our face as he also makes our mind wonder as he takes us to the heart of his universe with this new work that is to be included in the Art For All collection. An incredible concentration of delight.
