Running on All Fours Towards the Future, 100x100cm oil on canvas

‘American Bully’ is a series of four paintings, each of which depicts a woman and an American Bulldog situated in the same psychologically charged room but with a different viewing angle in each painting, as if the viewer’s POV was aligned with a camera panning around the room. Each painting also portrays a different interaction between woman and bully—as the series progresses, there is a shifting in the dynamics of the relationship, a deconstruction of owner/owned hierarchy. “My Beast, All Mine” is possessive, and depicts a familiar relationship between (wo)man and domesticated animal, looking in towards a domestic setting with a dining table and chairs. “Bitch and Bull” uses the terminology to describe a mating pair of dogs, and the two assume positions that mimic one another, suggesting the intimacy, kinship and equal stature found in a pairing. Behind them a window is open, the motion of the curtains blowing indicating a a passageway between the interior and the exterior. In “狗女人放狗屁” the two once again take on the same stance (known in Western yoga practices as “downward dog”), but our desire to project a human understanding of gesture prescribes sexuality unto the former and playfulness unto the latter. The open window seen in the previous painting is now barred shut; a door opens to the outside. Lastly, in “Running on All Fours Towards the Future,” the woman and dog exit the room to the exterior world, charging through a psychoactive green-lit landscape towards something that we can only know as out of the frame, to the right, to what’s next. Hierarchy is broken down as the woman bounds forward on all fours, and the dog rears into a bipedal position.
