The Angelest Qian - Green Candy Floss 最天使乾(丝绒绿) (Multiple editions) Sculpture

"These rainbow angels created by the artist are fusions of Eastern and Western culture. They wear the wings of Western angels but have the faces of oriental. The artist also gives the angel different looks of man and woman, and names them based on the old Chinese wisdom: Rainbow comes in two shades, the bright one as the male called Hong, and the gentle one as the female called Ni. Hence the artist named the male angels Hong, with the strong and bright colors, they bring hope and vitality; correspondingly, the females angels are named Ni, their soft and sweet colors are originated from the artist’s memory of the ice creams during his trip to Italy. They are angels of loveliness, bringing comforts and joys." Famous contemporary Chinese sculptor Qu Guangci was born in Shanghai in 1969 and received his MFA from the China Central Academy of Fine Arts Sculpture Department.

They are neither angels nor demons, neither conflicted nor hesitant – its significance is a reflection of the current state of affairs in China.
