About this Artwork

The bronze cast Red Boy is a group of works by Chen Wenling which were named "Red Memory". He has the ambiguity of opinion and wisdom in contemporary art.

Faced with this group of children, people may think of reds in classical culture, but they do not feel pedantic. People may think of the red baby in Journey to the West, but they can't find the enchantment. People may think of the red soldiers in the Cultural Revolution, but they cannot see the murder. People may recall the war of the past from the military town of Xiamen, but it will not cause the slightest sense of fear. People who are familiar with Chen Wenling may also associate the Red Boy with a period of his experience, that a young man and a woman were raped by the sea During the hijacking, the man struggled to resist, dozens of knives in his body, two arteries of his wrists were cut, and the whole body was blood-stained, which became the most bloody local bloody case. The young man described by the writer and regarded as a heroic act is Chen Wenling, who is in dire straits. However, hatred cannot be seen in Chen Wenling's Red Memory.
