The flat yet vibrant colours, the sexual anxiety, the voyeuristic view, the vulgarity of mundane contemporary life and the frozen actions of the figures mark the oeuvre of Song Yonghong. The accompanying essays in this catalogue show that under the paintings’ cartoon-like humour lies the artist’s anger and emotional uncertainty about modern China, and in particular, about the problems arising from the increasing freedom enjoyed by the people and the dismantling established moral and social rules. A biography of the artist is included.
在宋永紅的作品中，平塗而鮮明的色彩、性的焦慮、窺探的目光、花花世界的俗不可耐和人物靜止凝固的姿態已成為了他的個人標誌。本圖錄的評論指出，在其漫畫式的幽默背後，其實潛藏着畫家對中國當代社會的憤懣不安，當人們享有的自由度日增，而舊有的道德和社會規條卻分崩離析之際，種種問題紛至沓來，畫家心中的憤慨則尤為強烈。本圖錄亦載有藝術家的簡歷。
