王者（King） (2018) Sculpture par Zhao Yongchang

Most of my animal series works are anthropomorphic expressions. I use the image of animals to express people with different roles. They are all in a certain identity and environment, showing a side that transcends animality.
"King" is a joking title, and I exaggeratedly increased the Taishi chair, which symbolizes power and status, to heighten the sense of inapproachability. This is a young rhino with a naive body but wants to show seriousness. He is still immature and sits in a position that does not belong to him. This pretentious arrogance makes him appear ungrounded and bluff. The dynamics are also cramped and tense. Being at a high altitude is sometimes a kind of mental pressure caused by artificially pulling the seedlings, and sometimes it is also a kind of fever in an unconscious state. A lot of times we fantasize about what would happen if we were in that remote position, and the real, high-flying person is sometimes bullied like a foolish ignorant.
Everyone is in the chain of contempt caused by the class nature of this kind of relationship between top and bottom. The key is to stay awake at all times, not to be led by rhythm, not to be a member of the rabble. The sense of playfulness and contradiction created by my work "The King" is based on this thinking. Inner pride and surface peace may achieve an indescribable harmony.
