Comments:In 1976, Qu Leilei was working at the news division of the China Central Television. He was sent to Tangshan to help document the deadly earthquake that razed the city. The magnitude of death that he witnessed as well as the memory of hardships during the Cultural Revolution prompted him to express his thoughts in drawings. Worry expresses the artist’s anxiety and anger at a world that is full of violence, death and destruction, as well at his disappointment in human beings created by god or abstract nature. Notably, the image includes elements of European art (such as Michelangelo’s figure of Adam in the bottom). It shows the artist’s explorations of avant-garde art before the first Stars Group exhibition in 1979.
