What Toys?

Description

Description

Continuing his tongue-in-cheek depictions ofe nouveau riches, Li Yibing’s latest series of works explore further into contemporaneous happenings around us as well as the mental conditions between players and their seemingly toys.

Li uses the exhibits to raise one common question: what toys? He, on the one hand, has players handling things that may or may not be toys, while on the other hand he has portraits of cuddly stuffed animals all bearing a strange dubious look as if they have questions for the viewers concerning their identity and existence.

Li lives and works in Song Zhuang, the artists’ enclave in the suburban Beijing.
