Fat Series

Mu Boyan and his ‘Fat Series’ sculptures (2010) – “Mou’s performers and subject matters, bony black dogs, lazy White cats, steaming buns and hot coals. What’s impressive is that the dogs and cats seem to be breathing. We may even ask if they are alive. Of course, they look alive, but the virtual setting clearly tells us that they ate part of a scene. The combination of reality and illusion has been a source of fun in the world of art. In fact, the true performers in the virtual world are close to our life, though they look so far away.”
