Growing up in a chemical factory in one of China’s Third Front cities during the Cold War, Liao Yi Bai's childhood could never have been a carefree one. Such personal experience and memories inspired him to create his works – stainless steel sculptures, demonstrating his first-hand observations of past and present Chinese society.

Series name 系列名称 : Stainless Steel Series 不锈钢系列

These stainless steel sculptures of Liao demonstrate a use of light, refraction and reflection. In Liao’s work, his welded angels, cats and dogs are fused and transformed into hybrid creatures of another technological age. Moreover, because of his childhood memories, Liao creates an abstract to confront the reality and make the audience think again about the impact of technological advancement.

以不锈钢为雕塑的主要物料，廖一百完美地展现出光线之间折射的魅力。这系列中，廖一百笔下被焊接的天使、猫及狗以抽象的金属造型示人，表现出艺术家对科技发展的控诉。再者，他利用这些被扭曲的天使令人反思科技发展对当代社会的影响。
