Oil paint on canvas, 50 x 40 cm, December 2016
The main theme of this artwork is to go against the tradition. What a normal Chinese bridal sedan chair is in red color, with bride sitting inside the sedan chair. However, I did not want what tradition is, and change the color of the bridal sedan chair into the opposite color of red, that is, green. And unlike some beautiful patterns on the traditional sedan, I used graffiti to decorate the sedan. The main part is, I decided to let bridegroom to sit inside of the sedan instead of bride, and let him doing something rude, such as smoking, sitting in an inappropriate posture, and with a sad face, which is obviously against the tradition. Furthermore, the bridegroom is holding a telephone, which shows that he is looking forward to the modern life.
Below are some details and processes:
