A simple wooden chair that could have been found in any ordinary room; painted in bright red with a black rubbish bag carelessly crumpled on the seat. The entire front of the chair and rubbish bag appear to be encrusted with red molecules. It is only on closer inspection that one notices the shape of the rubbish bag. Contrary to initial glance, the bag forms the shape of a woman's breasts. Strategically covering both breasts, the red droppings also form a distinctive bikini-like shape that flow over the edge of the seat. Using his characteristic combination of shock and humour, Gu is raising an existential question about the female body and sexuality. Chair, Installation. Mixed media. 151 x 100 x 100.
