The series on poor people’s home “Prey”, that uses traditional classic oil painting techniques, is realized after photographs taken by a team sent to Shanghai suburbs and Guizhou province by MadeIn Company. Each painting’s caption consists in a map with the exact address of the home. These artworks combine passion for “old damaged things” with ethic principles, disturbing moral awareness and beauty appreciation, and ironizing aesthetic relation between art and misery.
