I have included some more works by Jason Wing to really show how different his approach is
Jasons work also includes some three dimensional pieces pictured on the left is one of two in a set, it is a bed made up of syringes and it has that bed of nails feel but also relates to the dreaming aspect of a lot of aboriginal art like the "dreamtime" that is so often depicted in a lot of paintings, here Jason has taken a more literal approach by creating the habitat of dreaming using what he feels i the substance of dreaming that being needles, drugs, hallucinogens.
Like other pieces in Jasons collection he uses the chinese adolescent as an image of his own heritage with his indigenous works, Jason is very influenced by street art and stencil works, and it has a great feel throughout the work with the use of layering these vectors over raw stenciled backdrops. there is alos a great use of vibrant colours in these pieces to really liven up the experience.
When I look at this piece I get the impression that the animal represents both sides of Jasons culture and that one horn from each is what makes Jason and how he identifies himself. Once again we can see jason depicted as the white/chinese adolescent, and that grungy stenciled backdrop which is very common in his works.
