Wall-13 (pieces)

11/25/2016

Different from most pieces in the series that are presented in landscape format, Wall-13is a pair of vertical walls; there is no layering of images on top of one another and the monochromatic feeling goes a lot farther than other images. 

Of all the pieces, this perhaps is the most "elegant" in its portrayal of decay and the destructive results of urbanization.Two sections of wall in Wall-13give a rich impression of decay. The natural phenomenon of the decaying wall becomes extraordinary in the style of Gustav Klimt, and the randomness of decay becomes a tapestry of golden richness in the pairing images with the intricacy of weave displayed throughout. 

Through Wen Fang's artistic vision, the urban decay has become the beauty which remembers the past; who knows how the current form was created and out of what materials from the past, but it is working real well as an interesting and satisfying portrayal of that beauty.
