The Grotesque, Satirical Sculptures of Chen Wenling

Beijing-based sculptor Chen Wenling creates large-scale sculptures that bite with social satire. Giant, inflated caricatures of pigs and other large beasts are a recurring motif in Chen’s work. Visualizations of gluttony and corrupt power, these stylized figures appear to poke fun at authority figures with their inflated, self-indulgent expressions and grotesque appearances. Displays of sexuality make Chen’s sculptures all the more jarring rather than adding a seductive element. Take a look at some of Chen Wenling’s sculptures above.

Brendan Monroe, whose show Melting Into the Floor runs through June 15th at LA’s Richard Heller, creates these great wooden sculptures and featured a bunch in the show… He’s often asked how he goes about making them and gives us at Fecal Face a little ‘how to’ on the process.

Fear of a Black God – Renee Cox’s Yo Mama’s Last Supper
by Shantrelle Lewis

The racialized, Eurocentric homo-gendered iconography of Catholicism automatically coerces someone existing outside of that spectrum to naturally experience isolation and distancing. This is especially probable for a Black girl child who wondered why nowhere in the Catholic Cathedrals where she genuflected, did she see an image of God in the form of sculpture, oil painting, or stain glass window that looked anything remotely like herself.

What happens then, when that same little Black girl, with Jamaican roots and upper-middle class upbringing, interacts with those negating images? She grows up into a Black woman, or most notably, a “rude gyal” with an attitude, who would thirty-something years later unabashedly confront that iconography, in the form of a series entitled Yo Mama. Although according to Genesis 1:26, God created (wo)man in the image of Him(her)self, nowhere in Christian texts could be found a brown skin God with the face of a girl child from the Diaspora. That is not until Renee Cox decided to photograph herself nude as Jesus surrounded by 12 fully-clothed male disciples, all of them Black with the exception of Judas, who was white, and titled the 5-paneled piece Yo Mama’s Last Supper.
