Since established in 2009, MadeIn Company has proclaimed to explore a multitude of possibilities in art production in assembly lines with its corporate system. For SH Contemporary this year, ShanghART Gallery brings the latest artpiece by MadeIn Company entitled Under Heaven. The oil paint piled on canvas is irresistibly reminiscent of a large decorative cake, which is so incredibly aromatic and delish that invites intoxicatingly a string of fantasies about perfect happiness. Taking a closer look, one notices these curves and edges, either raised or lowered, growing ceaselessly to breed a delicately constructed landscape model. As contrast is oddly formed between such boisterous sight and applied material characterised by its creamy, smooth ad vulnerable texture, the piece presents us once again with imaginative handling of dimensions and spaces by the artist, while the subtle relationship between material and its support is artfully encompassed within reflection upon painting and activism.
