FLOODING THE FORBIDDEN CITY 水淹紫禁城

Acrylic paintings by Chen Lianqing 陳聯慶作品展

The composition of this piece is highly original in the way it draws the viewer into its world. Presented here in this grand landscape are elaborately painted minuscule figures, situated within the majestic architecture of The Forbidden City. Cheng Lianqing takes a playful and tongue-in-cheek approach - masterfully injecting humour into his painting. In Emperor’s Hill, the artist tackles the idea of constant change and explores the ever-shifting power within society.

陳聯慶的繪畫整體上像一幅壯觀的遊戲景象，在這個宏大而又放任的景觀中，歷史如四季輪回，人如螞蟻苟生。而這一幕幕壯麗而又遊戲性十足的歷史變遷，建築作為一種意義和權力的中心，在時空的輪回中彼此轉換，從權力中心的喪失，意義中心因此獲得建立。
