The Chinese Cook is Angry
2003 - 2023
oil on canvas
76 x 61 cm
The artist tends to juxtapose the asian and more specifically the Chinese cook (who wears a straw and triangular hat) with the western chef who wears a tall white, cylindrical hat. Here the Chinese chef is angry, perhaps furious, raising his fist at the other chef.
Is there a deeper meaning to this painting? Is this in fact the embodiment of China angry with the west and ready to fight? Or are we merely witnessing an angry chef who is upset because his food has been stolen or his recipe adapted? Perhaps he is angry because the cat is being protected and he can no longer use it in his soup! The Chinese have been notorious for their ingredients from fresh monkey brains to dogs and cats all which have been readily available in open air markets in China for centuries.
