筷子树

Tree of Chopsticks

油画

oil painting

120cm×100cm　2009

黑色的背景中，一株貌似金碧辉煌的大树枝繁叶茂、光彩夺目。然而近观，却不免让人心生愧疚，那是一株由无数把一次性筷子拼扎的大树，正孤独地伫立在干涸龟裂的土地上。我们赖以生存的环境，正被所谓的工业文明不断破坏，被人类日益增长的消费欲望所吞噬。作品用一种近似荒诞的表现手法，发出了充满反讽和批评的警示，令人触目惊心。

On a black background, the luxuriant foliage of a tree seemingly made of glittering gold dazzles the eyes. A closer perspective brings a guilty feeling to viewers as they realize that this huge “tree”, which stands alone on the dried and cracked earth, is the result of the piecing together of countless pairs of disposable chopsticks. Our so-called industrial civilization is continuously damaging the environment in which we survive, and our surroundings are being devoured by humanity's growing desire to consume. The artist employs a quasi-absurd expression technique to issue a satirical and critical warning in his shocking work.
