Pan Kai

I think my real creation is after 2009. "Pets of the World" and "Mirror image" in 2009 have both the properties of single sculptures and the structure of different juxtapositions. "The World's Pets" places different types of "pet dogs" in an evenly divided frame, and the size ratio of "pet dogs" is not different. The audience can only find the difference between the images when they look closely. On the surface, "mirror" contrary to pet in the world, four white round are tied together, regardless of each other is because Pan Kai deliberately in the surface of sand blasting and appear a obvious different, based on the processing has a clear understanding of the audience for their diversity, but often is in essence the consistency of the ignored them. In this sense, Pan Kai emphasizes "one" in "Pets of the World" and deliberately covers up their "many", while in "Mirror image" he highlights their "many" and intentionally hides their "one". In fact, Pan Kai's intention is quite obvious. He tries to reveal the dilemma prevalent in contemporary life by emphasizing the paradox between "abstract concept" and "concrete image". Another piece, "Revel" (2009), is about "skulls," but Pan kai has transformed this generally taboo Chinese object into something so exquisitely glamorous. At the same time, the artist not only uses the technology of stainless steel and titanium plating, but also actively draws on the sculpture of "Sanxingdui" in the treatment of the image of the works in order to create the kind of mix and match effect after "wantless" in order to distinguish from the western contemporary way.
