Gone, 2023

Gone (2023) maintains a continuity with Yu Hong’s longstanding use of a golden background, where the golden hue, reminiscent of the warm glow of a sunset, bestows upon the entire composition a sense of resplendent warmth. However, juxtaposed against this backdrop, the dynamic interplay of the two central figures evokes a disquieting and precarious mood. The male figure’s posture hovers ambiguously between a daring leap and an impending descent, while the child clings tightly to his ankle, suggesting a joint ascent or descent, or perhaps a dissolution into the gilded expanse of the sky.
