“Fuck Me Like You Love Me”

Liu Dao’s neon artwork is not just about the ‘wow’ factor, but also captures the sentiments of the time. While pondering the very social fabric of this madhatter city, its crazily transient nature, the right-here-right-now mood, soaring ambitions and last night’s regrettable encounter, the artists didn’t have to long to consider before adopting this inspirational slogan as their rallying war cry.

The Spring Festival holiday is traditionally a joyous occasion of reunion, especially for those who live and work away from their families. For many young career-minded singletons, though, it can be a nightmarish occasion. For days, nosy relatives fire barrages of mind-numbingly annoying questions about boy/girlfriends, settling down, marriage and other similar inanities. The free-spirited youth will not go quiet into the night, though. Internet forums are increasingly flooded with advertisements offering lavish sums for attractive girl or boyfriends for hire, just to stave off the slavering hordes back home. Fuck Me Like You Love Me is a loud, blinding neon celebration of love, money and the awesomeness of web portals in deceiving inquisitive busybodies.
