About the Item
Childhood is not just a transitional time before adulthood. It is a meaningful lifetime for children to create their wonderlands exclusively. It is also a time of utopia that we may have forgotten when we became an adult.
When children play together, there has always been a leader to lead rules of games among children. Such a kid is like a head sheep in a flock and a wolf leader of a pack, as well as a “Top dog” in a group of children. A top dog is usually a soundless outsider who watches other kids as they play. He / she may find a silent corner to enjoy being alone but he/she never feels lonely inside his/her mind.
“I always want to find the intersection between different cultures and integrate them in a proper way to show people what I see and feel. " by Huang Yu Long
Chinese artist Huang Yulong studied porcelain art in Jingdezhen, China, an important historical town of Chinese porcelain productions. His life is deeply influenced by hip-hop and street art, which inspired him to create a fusion art style by Chinese traditional cultures and hip-pop culture. Freedom and rebellion represented by hiphop have become Huang Yulong's motivation to pursue his art career, which deliver profound philosophical and aesthetic concepts of Chinese art to people all over the world without language, genders, races and geographical barriers.
"This is naturally integrated with my inner pursuit of individuality and rebellion. As shown in the artistic sculptures I created, it combines diversified elements, but each shape is a manifestation of the core of pure Chinese Eastern culture." by Huang Yu Long ( a quote from the interview with MEFine).
The core value of Huang Yu Long’s sculptures expresses Yin and Yang, a concept of dualism that two opposite powers may be interconnected in order to achieve a balance status. “Yo Bro！” and “Upside Down” highlight a harmonic physical contact between two different persons. Huang Yu Long stated that “Everything is just like Tai Chi and everyone is involved in the Yin/Yang cycle.”
Dualism is also applied in “N.S.E.W” , “Heaven and Earth” and “Party” series that represent interconnections between Chinese cultures and Hiphop spirit. In addition, “Rose” series, “Skull” series and “Snowflakes” reflects ugly facts under beautiful surfaces. He also extended the view to his life journey of being an artist. “Top Dog” , “Beginner’s Mind” , “Godfather” and “ Be My Side” which visualise his passions and struggles as an artist and remind himself the reason becoming an artist.

An innovator of technological art beginning in the early 1960s, Pallas drew inspiration from his upbringing in Detroit, Michigan where he had early exposure to the automobile industry, its materials and design. He is recognized for having employed electronics and early computer technology to enable his sculptures to respond to external stimuli. Often the circuit boards specifically designed for a particular piece were, themselves, drawings. Throughout his varied career, Pallas has created sculptures and reliefs employing a variety of subjects often imbuing the objects with humor and irony, yet connecting them to everyday life and experiences. Represented by the preeminent Allan Stone Gallery in New York for more than two decades, Pallas’s work has been exhibited in and collected by institutions nationwide including the Detroit Institute of Art, and Columbia University. In legacy, Jim Pallas’s artwork is allied with other innovative masters of the 1960s and 70s including Red Grooms, Larry Rivers, Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Yaakov Agam, Nam June Paik, Frieder Nake, Leslie Mezei, Georg Nees, A.
