Bicycle (Side)
Two panels placed side by side depict a bicycle rendered in Sheng Qi's characteristically bold and expressive acrylic style, capturing the vehicle as both a mundane object and a potent symbol of everyday Chinese life. The diptych format fragments and expands the image, inviting the viewer to consider the bicycle from a lateral perspective that emphasizes its structural geometry and cultural weight. Sheng Qi's layered application of paint infuses the familiar form with tension, reflecting his broader practice of mining personal and collective memory through charged imagery.
