Pink Bobble (2021) presents a more abstract image whereby pastel pink tennis balls are placed on and around a steel structure, against a green background. How people in China have a longing for a better life is also one of the main underlying themes in Chen’s work. As people’s lifestyles have become more diversified in China over the last few decades, finding something new to do during one’s leisure time has also become important in building a new lifestyle. Tennis is one of the options, as the artist observed. In the same manner as New Station, human figures are removed from the image. Only the objects -- and also the light, specifically in this work -- are employed to convey a certain feeling of expectation, and probably confusion and disappointment experienced from new changes as well. In this respect, tennis is not just a mode of sport, but also a new step towards a better life.
