Statement
That was April when Goethe Institute and Deutsche Bank invited me to do a show for Hong Kong International Art Fair.
That was April when Japan was suffering from the radiation after the earthquake, when Ai Wei Wei "disappeared", and everybody talking about 2012.
When we were discussing about the ideas of the show, the authority gave the title "Urban Utopia", and carefully told me not to paint any nudity and violence images.
That was April when I lost the energy of thinking the world as peaceful and beautiful, and I thought why not, as Utopia is always about power and control.
For the seek of "harmony", I put pixelate on all sensitive objects to prevent disturbance.
It is just a wall. Things behind the it are always there.
