+ OVERVIEW
Ridiculousness and sarcasm can be found in most paintings of Ouyang Chun. Ouyang believes reality and fantasy overlap in everyone's world everyday, it is happening in the human society all the time; hence ridiculousness is meant to be the theme of this world. Without any deliberate mystification, his works are not lack of intensions: the bright colors and childlike raw strokes, no signs of repeated symbols or similar pictures; his paintings are vibrant with fascination and emotional appeal, breathing out childhood delight.
While communicating with the public through innocent and emotional drawings, the artist himself has a relatively complicated life experience and redundant rational thinking of art career. Ouyang dropped out high school and came into contact with people in all walks of life, including many low lives and hooligan which later became the typical figure of evil in his art works.
