ARTIST STATEMENT
My Painting Subjects:
In 1997, I was still an art instructor who taught art at Academy of Technology. I organized my students to visit the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture for the first time. The trip made a huge impact on me and it has been influencing me even today. I found my painting subject in that moment.
To be one of over 10
million people who live in Shenzhen, the modern city, same as many other
Chinese, I am trapped by the tide of the booming economy. The materialistic
demanding, the debauchery, the high pressure, and the fast pace of city life
make everyone exhausted. If you are seeking a place where there is no hustle
and bustle, or luxury and dissipation, then here it is, Tibet. Being the last
piece of uncontaminated pure land, Tibet still maintains the original
environment and authentic native culture. I am not only fascinated by the
uniqueness of its grand, majestic, yet rough landscape, but also charmed by
its brilliant traditional culture. Regardless how tough the survival
condition is, how much they lack goods and materials, the Tibetans always
keep their peaceful and happy lifestyle. I believe it is from their devotion
of religion, which is tough for us, the atheists, to understand, but envied
by us at the same time. The Tibetan’s kindness and unsophisticatedness
touched my heart deeply, and urged me to paint.
There are always a lot of
paradoxes between the economic development and the maintenance of the
environment and traditional culture. It is so sad to see that following the
massive modernization through construction and development, and the erosion
of the so-called “contemporary civilization” the ecological environment and
the native culture are being destroyed. Therefore, I am recording the vanishing
traditional Tibetan culture.
Watercolor has sometimes
been called a non-serious art genre in the West. In the East, watercolor is
also a “light music” or a minor painting style. I hope to break the headlock.
As a realistic painter of all traditional subjects, e.g. portrait, My
aesthetic goal is that my watercolor can also be the symphony, which not only
has personal particular style, but also maintains the uniqueness of the watercolor
language.
