Li Cansen x artist cross-border creation
At the opening ceremony, Li Cansen mentioned the concept of the exhibition: "I have always been inspired by life and the people around me, and I will take interesting and memorable things as creative inspiration for the moment." Initially, I met artists such as Chen Rui and Li Yuyu through a variety show, and everyone liked graffiti and trend culture, and as soon as we hit it off, we thought of doing something together. Later, every time I made an appointment, everyone would say Sunday (Sunday had to be idle), because Sunday was the most relaxed, a state of no stress and enjoyment of the moment. So we have created a Sunday zoo with a difference, everyone can be a strange animal, in the reinforced concrete urban forest, I hope that there is such a place to contain all things, so that this group of 'little animals' can be at ease. ”

Regarding the SUNDAY ZOO main image ARHAT Arhat, Li Cansen said: "Its body is transparent and pure, which means to put aside all troubles; its heart is also straightforward and can be seen through at a glance, and I hope that everyone can let down their defenses and bring people closer to inner communication." And its changeable core, which contains infinite possibilities, is imaginative... Maybe in the future I'll play music I made in ARHAT's body. Pure, diverse, innovative, this is the ARHAT arhat, with a little contradiction but because of the collision of multiple elements and the endless charm. ”
Sunday ZOO chose to open its first exhibition in Shenzhen in response to the policy of accelerating the integration and integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in the new era, Li Cansen has always mentioned "integration, innovation and progress", which is also the core spirit of ARHAT, and it is also the call for Li Cansen to initiate in-depth exchanges and cooperation in art and culture between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao from his own beginning.
Li Cansen also said that SUNDAY ZOO is to give the public to see that China's ARTTOY has more possibilities, so that everyone can find that ARTTOY can also dialogue and exchange, not just stay on the surface of appreciation and collection. I hope that artoy can be raised to the spiritual level to heal people's hearts, so that more people can understand and explore the core details and new forms of arhats through subjective consciousness, have their own understanding and thinking, do not need to be labeled and guided, divergent self-pluralistic imagination space, and everyone's inner SUNDAY ZOO is a different good scenery.

Multiple artists work together
Graffiti artist Li Yuyu created nearly three meters high spray paintings of "Arhat Rocker" and "Arhat of the 90s"
Li Yuyu said that the 90s were the era when he grew up, and Cantonese culture is the gene in the blood. The reason for combining the rocking car, Cantonese culture and arhat is to fully embody the "art comes from life", and the figurative presentation of childhood memories can arouse the resonance and familiarity of everyone's heart. Fun and interesting, with a distinct personal interest is the core value of his creation. Li Yuyu uses his unique artistic hand to order the public to re-examine the aesthetic taste of art, and also reflects the cynical trend attitude, always with a "childlike" juvenile state of mind.
Chen Rui, co-founder of SUNDAY ZOO and the director of Popular Sunday, said in an interview that arttoys' market update iteration is rapid, and it is necessary to meet two points for long-term development: First, endurance, ART TOYS must have a core and be related to life, in order to resonate with everyone. The second is because everyone's aesthetics are constantly improving, and more importantly, it is important to add value, including how to improve its artistic value through behind-the-scenes operations.

Arhat Arhat is placed between cement bricks and moss, a serene and reflective spatial atmosphere. It presents a complex and diverse state,
In the collision of various materials and colors, the arhat has the tension of free imagination under the cycle of being constantly polished, cast and reconstructed. This is not only a visual feast of art, but also a dialogue about self-reflection and inner world.
It is reported that this exhibition lasts until February 20, 2022, and is presented in the 2F WanzhongYixin Exhibition Area of Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning.
