“Taotie” neon light installation @asianartmuseum
The East West Bank Art Terrace is an outdoor platform for contemporary art featuring thought-provoking works by both emerging and world-renowned artists.
Kongkee, Taotie
Taotie (2022), a neon sculpture by Kongkee was a much-photographed crowd favorite in the artist’s 2022 Warring States Cyberpunk exhibition. The work’s title refers to aphorisms warning against vanity, pride, and other follies; such pictographic messages were often inscribed on the faces of ancient Chinese bronze vessels. Rendered in electric pink neon, Kongkee’s sculpture reimagines these motifs at a dramatic scale and updates them to include contemporary references, illuminating their continued relevance in the age of social media.

Last week I was honored to receive the Asia Game Changer West Award from the Asia Society Northern California in the United States. Honourees in this year were Japan’s Rakuten CEO Hiroshi Mickey Mikitani, and Indian tech entrepreneur and CEO Padmasree Warrior.
