ChunMing Hou, Phallus Horse, 1986
oil on floral cloth
48.4 × 48.4 inches

‘Phallus Horse’ is a buzzard creature painted on printed fabric, the fantastical images of genital and animals emerging with repeated patterns conveying the unrestrained imagination of the artist. In addition, the horse is an image that refers to wealth and power in traditional Chinese paintings; Hou painted it as a huge phallus indicating his rebellion against tradition and blending gender awareness at the same time.
