Wild Animals Invade New York Art World

Feng Shuo, "No Fear" (2007)

And what is this creature? He has a human body, certainly. But is that a dog’s head, or a cat’s, or something else entirely? And look at his feet, trying — not too successfully — to still that slithering snake. His apparent emotional uncertainty matches his physical monstrosity. Feng’s pictures are like the greasy snapshots taken at some drug-fueled after-work party organized by a gang of dissolute fairy-tale characters. I highly recommend this show.
