About the artwork

SG/A edn909/999 The bright red colour used to depict the boys is an extremely symbolic colour for the Chinese people - used to represent prosperity, sunlight, politics and blood. It is symbolic of the artist's aggressive attitude towards life and represents honest and genuine temperaments. The Red Boys, naked and free, have nothing to hide.
