The soil grows into a forest

190 x 210 cm7800 $

This painting was created in 2022. This year, the painting style changed sharply, from the usual low and harmonious gray colors to conflicting bright colors. At the same time, it raised a big question mark about life.

Nilin means "The soil grows into a forest" in Chinese. Nilin is a clue in my life and a person I have dreamed of many times. But in my dreams, it has many appearances. This is one of the appearances based on the appearance of my friend. When this painting was completed, I had no doubt that she had this appearance.

Creative themes and style | My works revolve around the creative concept of "The land of humanity, People on the land". The people in the painting are people in nature, and the lines, shapes, and colors are close to nature. The nature in the painting is nature in the eyes of humans, existing in interaction with humans.I don’t pursue a series of works with a fixed and continuous style. I hope that the style of the pictures will synchronize with the changes in my life and always remain oscillating. The performance of the work must be in sync with the development of one's own life in order to be Sincere and powerful. Ideas are later.

Reference view

This painting constructs a unique spiritual field with highly expressive visual language. The figure serves as the core carrier; the body is like a canvas dyed by emotions, where yellow and red collide, as if the heat of life is surging. The blue hair is like a deep night, holding complex thoughts. The abstract textures in the background are the "vines" of thoughts, twisting and spreading, weaving a spiritual ecosystem with the figure.

In terms of composition, the figure stretches horizontally, breaking the formality of conventional portraits, as if laying the soul out on the canvas to dry. The "thought vines" in the background climb from all around, creating a sense of enclosure, making the viewer unconsciously step into the spiritual courtyard of the figure. Color is the emotion catalyst; the high - saturation yellow and red are the passionate pulses of life, and the blue calmly reconciles, like reason anchoring the direction in the emotional tide. They tear and blend, giving birth to vigorous spiritual energy.

The painting style belongs to the expressionist lineage but breaks free from traditional frameworks. The brushstrokes are like improvisational dances, not seeking physical "accuracy" but emotional "adequacy", laying bare the inner landscape. The emotional expression is like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon. In those color whirlpools and line folds, there are struggles and epiphanies of self - cognition, ultimately pointing to the essence of life — even when entangled by the vines of emotions, one can still break through a gap leading to freedom in the collision of colors.

It brings to mind Egon Schiele, who also laid bare his inner self with distorted figures and intense colors. However, this painting has less of Schiele's gloom and more brightness after breaking free. It is like a spiritual breakthrough: using color as a sharp blade to cut through the emotional cocoon, turning the heat of life into the light of breaking the cocoon, illuminating the viewer's gaze on "self" — it turns out that in the folds of the spirit, the most vivid throbbing of life is hidden. Each color crack is an exit to truth, optimistically and firmly telling that chaos and struggle are originally the prelude to life's awakening.
