showing the goodness and peacefulness within.

€שۜᇜ໮ 6ۆ݊μԐ̈೥ࠦԸՑତ Kasing Lung often uses astrophysical terminology to incorporate scenes from his imagination
ྼ˰ޢٙतᄳd̥Ԉഁሳຬʱٙμᚣഹ into his paintings. Terraforming (Lot 4) was exhibited in the artist’s solo exhibition A State
ɘᒶ௛ͣ⥬˫dዹՈ˾ڌٙᜄڗɽЀϢ of Monsters in Thailand. Using ink and marker, he quickly scribbles the figure of Labubu
ν೑ԉᑍͭdᖭ׵ՉɪٙಅሌЍ഑ˣᇻ drifting in the air: her long ears are alertly erected, arms and legs are tightly clasped in
tension, and the space around is filled with astronomical terminologies in various directions,
ᕦʱ׼dಅЍַФЇᑕ᎔ҖϓಅߎٙՇ which displays her infinite imagination for outer space. Zimomo, wearing a baseball cap
໓dᑕɪᓃᓃʃ௚౴һᜑԩ̷৖ɛd࣎ and standing on his tiptoes in the centre of the painting, with his tail curled up and his
ഹԂɿ౰කᕐᑑdታͭ׵ɽଣͩ७ֵࢭ arms outstretched, is incredibly excited and confident. Meanwhile, his companions are
ɪdᆠઋɦ᎒ധήڎટΌ˰ޢf in the square capsule on the left, with Tycoco’s heads lined up on the right, telling their
excitement about exploring the universe. The other work Eliminate (lot 5), depicts the
elves preparing for a landing, backed by astrophysical theories, with the large word
“KASING” exploding like a cyclone, sending the elves into space on a stream of air.
The dots and lines at the top of the painting are in fact the “wormhole” from German
scientist Einstein’s theory in 1935, and the “Einstein-Rosen Bridge” written is a time
tunnel. The elves in the centre of the painting are bursting and gathering at the exit of
the “wormhole”, and through these fearless and adorable figures, Lung pays tribute to
the great achievements of quantum physics in the past century.
Labubu’s Monologue
“I prefer characters who are both good and evil. Although Labubu looks
evil and sneaky, she is actually good at heart.”
{{Kasing Lung
The Labubu sculpture (lot 6) presented is a childlike figure. She has nine snow-white
fangs, and her distinctive long, slender ears stand out like horns. The fluffy brown fur
covers her ears, and the colour extends to form reddish-brown cheeks, along with
the little freckles on her face, which makes her even more charming. She stands on a
marble base with her arms open, welcoming the world.
