Queens museum: Zhang Hongtu

I choose this artist because i thought his artwork would be interesting to look into and was. One of the artworks he did that spoke out to me was a sculpture of coca-cola bottles that were covered in porcelain. The name of this artwork was called "Kekou-kele", which translates to coca-cola six pack. It was made in 2002.  There six bottles in total.The bottles are small in size, The bottle caps were on the left foreground of the soda bottles. Soda bottles are usually plastic with red or black label that is made of paper. These bottles are have a blue and white color with a flower pattern. My implication of the texture is hard because porcelain has a hard glass texture. The caps are also covered in a white and blue porcelain. They don't have a flower pattern, instead they have symbols.

  

Zhang Hontu's artworks convey the political ideas between New York and China.
