"In this uncertain and rapidly changing world, youth cultural groups are doing everything they can to try to seize a moment and brand themselves. In fact, rapid change is not a bad thing, as Sigismund Baumann puts it: "The core of a postmodern life strategy is not about creating identity, but about avoiding immutables." Although commercial global media networks provide material for people to "create themselves" together, it is the local space and territory that really embeds it in the local framework and gives it the meaning of "global localization".
—After Subculture, Chapter 10, Bennett Andy
This sentence in Bennett Andy's book tells the original intention of NYLON NYLON when the "Year of the Tiger" was convened by major universities in China earlier: in the era when the Internet is deeply rooted in life, young people try to seize a certain moment and try to settle for it, in fact, they are avoiding immutable, NYLON NYLON should provide them with such a platform: here they can show their talents and speak independently. And such a platform form can be a painting sliding down, the gallery's visual sense.
2022, for college students who have just gone through a round of the Year of the Tiger in their lives, it is a new beginning, with multiple visions, and they are infected by popular culture. How do they create under the influence of "local culture"?
The NYLON nylon article on the first day of 2022 is presented.

"This year has been a year of beauty, exhaustion and regret. The beauty and hope in my heart have not been extinguished, and I have set off again with expectations and entered the Year of the Yin Tiger. 2022, I hope to sleep peacefully, closing my eyes is a dream, opening my eyes is also full of rainbows, high pillows, no sorrow. "

In traditional Chinese culture, tigers and butterflies have a harmonic sound of "fu", and tiger butterfly is a good omen for the coming year. The juvenile tiger is hoping that everything is growing and everything can be expected. "

The imagery of the tiger in the Eastern tradition usually symbolizes great power by depicting the solemn gesture of the tiger to express its inherent attributes of power, implying that in the year of the tiger, every "careerist" is like a tiger in the pursuit of the ultimate goal. ”

"To some extent, woodboard watermarks can achieve the function of the converter. This work completes the transformation from content to material, from "seat frame" to "production". ”

"When you think of tigers, you may think of elegance, momentum, and honor. As the king of the hundred beasts, I think of the image of the king. The image of the king generally appears on shields, clan insignia, flags, banknotes, and playing cards. The symmetrical form of the playing cards deepens the tiger's sense of majesty. So I used the form of playing cards to compose the picture to achieve an image that reflected the majesty of the tiger. And the new 2022 is also a more symmetrical number, and the symmetrical form expresses my feelings about the New Year. ”

"The choice of red and blue colors in the creation is aimed at expressing the wildness and calmness of the king of the hundred beasts at the same time, and to tilt his head is to observe the coming 2022 with curiosity."

"Tigers in zoos have not escaped the virus in the global covid-19 pandemic environment, and the protagonist of this painting is Nadia, the world's first tiger infected with new crown, and experts speculate that Nadia will be cured in the next few weeks." In China, the tiger has the symbol of bravery and might, driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil spirits, and auspiciousness. On the occasion of the Year of the Tiger in 2022, he made a print "Tiger Goes to The Disease" to wish everyone a safe and healthy body and all the best. ”

"With the theme of '2022', 'Broken' graphically processes 4 numbers and uses simple polylines and circles to form an "explosion" pattern. And as the main element derived from a variety of permutations and combinations of shapes. As a new year-themed poster, the main visual of the picture is more visually impactful through simple graphics and colors. This means breaking the shackles of the old year and meeting the challenges of the new year. ”
