Rong, Ren
Plant Man. 1996. Acrylic on wood collage. 90 x 49.5 cm. Signed, dated and titled on the reverse. With a few small, isolated scuffs. Overall in very good condition.
In his artistic practice, Ren Rong frequently drew on a fusion of cultural references – such as the Chinese paper-cutting tradition – with contemporary issues relating to identity, ecology and global cultural relations. This work embodies Ren Rong’s long-standing motif of the fusion of humanity and nature. The figure, crafted from wood, alludes to his well-known theme of ‘plant-people’ – hybrid beings caught between organic growth and human form. The material – wood – contributes significantly to the overall effect here. The warm, natural grain and the organic structure of the material correspond with the image of a growing, living body.
