Made In Singapore- Lee Rui Xiang

Deep down in everyone there is a small part of us that desire to be the best, just like how every boy wanted to be the red power ranger when they were young. Focusing on this part of the human being, artist Lee Rui Xiang came up with the work ''The King of Kings ''Kill Em All''. 

''The King of Kings ''Kill Em All''. 

In this artwork the artist portrays himself as a superhero destroying the other superhero around him to illustrate his hunger for success. For a man to be success, he must first know failure. I believe that the artist had gone through a hard time to be where he is now and is still striving to be better. By destroying other people around him he might had wanted to expressed the self centred side of human in today's society. The artist also make use of facial expressions of the characters in this artwork to illustrate a dog eats dog world. This can be seen in the Astro boy character where the expression strays away from the original cheerful expression.
