FENG Li, Flower in outskirt , 2020, 90 x 60 cm (detail)
Galerie Marguo is delighted to present its first online viewing room Feng Li: Garden featuring 13 iconic works by street photographer FENG Li. United by the title "Garden," these works continue the artist's ongoing series White Night and are together the idiosyncratic depictions of the uniquely green (often dark) underbelly of the everyday life.
Feng's unique vision is characterized by surprising juxtapositions, tongue-in-cheek humor, bright textures and colors, all yielding a sense of the absurd and even the uncanny within the urban landscape.
The quotidian is examined under a bright flash, populated by inscrutable yet compelling characters: a figure in a glaring green fur and wig-like hair blending into an equally green house plant; twin sisters climbed atop of an enormous fake lotus flower which, upon close exmination, is a broken part of an giant Buddhist sculpture of another era. The humorous and the sinister, and the real and the surreal, share a single frame: an uneasy, startling balance of violence and satire without any context.

"Beautiful or ugly, I just want to capture the unique and different moments in life. They may appear strange and absurd to the viewers, but they are to me the norm of life."

"I'm used to the absurdity of life. I'm very resistant to it, yet I can't live without it. I'm a social animal, and I cannot live without other human beings."

"These photos ask the audience a question and let them make their own associations. I think a good question is more important than a good answer."
