Xi Fei's "There is No Ideology"

There is No Ideology - Only Collective Forms of Desire System and Organization of Power, 2012
 60 x 48 inches, Acrylic on Canvas

you can enjoy this Xi Fei  image when you watch it more, as the bulls and rushing traders that symbolize Wall Street. The bulls line up walking down the stairs just as in Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase" and the hanging sides of beef echo Francis Bacon's “Figure and Meat." Xi Fei is making a sarcastic comment on capitalism's sacred evils. Xi Fei likes to pick fragments from historical masters. An upside-down helicopter reflection appears in this piece, just as it is found in many of Xi Fei's works – for example, with the zebra in another of his pieces at the museum exhibition. Also from the English title and artist’s name, you will know there are more art works to be seen.


The US China Press (Qiaobao) has reviewed the Raising the Temperature exhibition at the Queens Museum. Although you might not be able to read the Chinese in this coverage, you can enjoy the image.
