Utopia — Games

2011

Woodblock print

80 x 60 cm

​

This is a very personal print. Wu Jiantang says that it reflects an invisible wall between human beings in a vast modern city. It depicts some of his experiences when he first moved from rural Guizhou to Beijing for art college. His imagery is also influenced by folk tales of Guizhou and magical realism in Latin American literature. Utopia-Games is one of a series, whose theme is the difference between the desire for an ideal world and reality.
