SHEN Fan Landscape - Commemorating Huang Binghong 2006 500.0 * 1000.0 * 600.0 cm (197" * 394" * 236") Installation | Installation | Edition of 3 code: SFU021 / id:6585

Landscape - Commemorating Huang Binhong is a dynamic stereoscopic work combining both sound and light. It is 5 meters tall, 10 meters wide, with the stereoscopic fan measuring 13.78 meters in length. The whole picture is composed of 2520 neon tubes, whose lighting time is synchronized with its musical element. Each note is sounded within a span of 2 to 3 seconds, with 7 to 8 seconds of silence. The neon tubes light up one by one, lasting in total 7 hours. The basic principle of the music is to determine the pitch and volume according to the length and angle of the neon tubes, and design the tonal variations based on the shape of lines and the speed of the neon tubes. In terms of color, Shen Fan chooses the one he is most proficient in, which is white. Shen Fan uses the neon lights, a daily necessity in city living, to demonstrate the landscape, a theme often found in traditional Chinese paintings. In this sense Shen successfully and skillfully establishes an exchange between traditional and contemporary art in his work.

Landscape - Commemorating Huang Binhong was exhibited during the Shanghai Biennale on September 7th, 2006.
