Born in 1982, Fujian Province, China, sculptor Wu Liang Yen has created in his oeuvre a range of sculptures representing the new face of Chinese youths. In his works, the same figure is used – a young boy with plump cheeks, an upward tilted and disproportionately large head, with a red tie around his neck. Each characteristic of the boy’s form is laden with meaning contextualized within China’s history and progression.
