Mixc World

Victo Ngai

I was commissioned by Mixc World, a shopping center in Shenzhen China. to create a billboard image celebrating their launch in September 2017.

 Mixc World is a community comprises of a dozen buildings, hundreds of shops and restaurants and public areas including art installations and historical sites. The main inspiration of this piece was drawn from the Chinese name of Mixc World - “萬象天地”, which has the meaning of “a place with everything and all things” but can also be literally translated to “Elephant World”. 

 With this image, I want to create a whimsical carnival-like world that is filled with fun and curiosity. I like to sneak in visual signs for the viewers to figure out, clues which would allow people to connect dots into line, whether consciously or subconsciously. For example, we see the Cosmic Elephant presents a flower to the little girl. The interior of the flower corresponds to the cosmic pattern on the elephant, while the external stripes related to the stripes on the elephant, the girl’s skirt, the building, the clouds in the sky, and so on. We get a sense that everything is related and all is one, the flower being gifted opens up the possibility of the entire world, similar to the experience Mixc World is offering to its shoppers.

“ The fire demon of the rainforests “

As you know, I rarely refer to current affairs in my work, but this whole situation with rainforest fires in South America really makes me sad and angry. And a few weeks ago a similar situation in Syberia… It is really heartbreaking for me when I think about all these animals and amazing wild nature ecosystem which will just vanish. I don’t have enough knowledge to speak on this topic, for sure it is a lot more complicated than it seems, but I just wanted to make something, to not feel totally useless, and support everyone who tries fight with this catastrophic situation, Junglekeepers and all my friends in Brazil.

It would be much more beautiful if we could unite in a heroic fight against some powerful demon… unfortunately, the reality is much less heroic and it seems that we, as a species, are the demon in that story :(

‘Lucky day‘

“ Torke will never forget that encounter with the furry demon. Together with his daughter and son they were making their way to the other end of the glade in search of food. It was a chilly early spring day. Torke had always been very careful and everything seemed to be under control and that the expedition will end without any problems. Suddenly he, furry demon, appeared! Emerging from behind the hill. Torke froze … then he saw that the demon was already carrying two hunted mice in its mouth… hope! The demon stared at them for a moment, then ran to his lair to consume his victims…”

* The painting is entirely based on and inspired by the real life event A few days ago I met one of our wild cats in front of the house. There were two field mice in his mouth 0__o Terrifying and fascinating! The idea for this painting immediately came to my mind. Full story on my instagram! :)
