Back Huang Zhuan, ‘It’s Good For You’—The Response of Art to The Era of Materialism

Deng Jianjin’s works always have a tendency to personalize the social issues. His works are always with magic temperature which comes from the rapid, full and nervous strokes, the cold and romantic tones, and the figures’ postures full of desire. It also comes from his deep will ready to break the boundaries between reality and dream. In his works, sex, violence and disasters all like a game which is taking place but can be terminated at any time. Romance and terror, flesh and love, even life and death are fully mixed. Accurately speaking, it’s better to say that Deng Jianjin is more like a wandering poet in the society rather than a painter.
