Reading series No. 171109 Collage

The first impression of Chen Linggang's works is the existence of many small square grids, where various "compressed" rice paper and books are. It is too difficult to make out those characters and content in the paper. The artist seems to create an "obstacle" of interpretation deliberately, in other words, he creates an invisible "obstacle" between "readers" and "cultural history". We have been unconsciously directed to another unique viewpoint of time and space when we interpret his works. The "obstacle" of reading brings another angle to meditate on history and culture… It drives us to think actively, rather than accepting passively. His works make people rethink and reinterpret history and culture, even question them with confusion! When people observe those pictures, they can feel the fragments of history are flowing in the grid, and the cultural heritage is transforming. Suddenly they are frozen into a historical moment - an unchangeable picture appears in front of us. Chen's works ask a question and create a way of thinking. It is a contradiction without any solution. It is an "obstacle". However, it is also the charm of his works because this is an exploration of art itself!
