Wu Shaoxiang: Walking Wealth
January 10- 26, 2008

Opening Reception:
Friday, January 11, 2008, 6 - 8:30 pm
Plum Blossoms Gallery Hong Kong

For his latest solo exhibition at Plum Blossoms Gallery, Wu Shaoxiang will unveil a selection of new works exploring the theme of wealth and modern consumer culture. Not content with replicating the internationally acclaimed ‘Coining’ series, Wu continues to explore new forms of innovative sculptural representation. His new series, Walking Wealth, consists of life-sized human figures made out of bronze-cast US dollar notes. With their distinctive body language, these anonymous figures pose as witty commentaries on mankind’s endless pursuit of monetary gain. Here Wu once again showcases his ability to incorporate form and concept in new and striking ways – a brilliance that has distinguished him as one of the leading Chinese sculptors of his generation.
