Ju Duoqi is a young talented Chinese artist, full of creativity. In The Vegetal Museum series, she revisits in a stunning way some masterpieces of the western painting. Making use of vegetables and food of China’s everyday life – tofu, cabbage, ginger, lotus roots, coriander, sweet potato… – and through digital manipulation, she presents a puzzling series of vegetable compositions representing world famous paintings like Mona Lisa, The Cene by Leonard Da Vinci, The Dream by Pablo Picasso or Marilyn Monroe by Warhol.Food and aliments are recurrent in Ju Duoqi’s works. She puts them out of their natural context to give them a second life. In The Vegetal Museum, the vegetables change of status: ordinary, coarse, insignificant, perishable, they become exceptional and lasting.Born in 1973 in Chongqing, Ju Duoqi.is graduated from The Sichuan Fine Arts College. She currently lives and works in Beijing. Part of the One Child Policy generation, Ju Duoqi saw China huge transformation, the transition from an agricultural society to a post industrial society.Colorful, creative, Ju Duoqi collages astonish. She creates her own language and destabilizes the boundary between reality and fiction. The vegetable and fictive world of Ju Duoqi is an invitation to the sensorial and provocative journey, like the artist herself.
