In my understanding, a brief definition of a literati artist could be“A charismatic artist inspired by nature; a political, philosophical and aesthetical leader in his community.”
I asked myself whether it would be possible to become something similar nowadays, and I based this work on a completely negative answer.
In the context of a show where so much is based on the beauty of nature and harmonious life, I am quite happy to present a disruptive element. My big face unpleasantly shows up among trees and waterfalls, and shouts that, no matter how much we romantically delude ourselves, we have in reality succeeded in building a society where nature and art are almost useless.
