Work "Kokai"

Ink on paper

With the illusion of images, the "globalized" civilization landscape is once again shoulder to shoulder, and at the same time, it also borrows the knowledge genealogy of art history, so that the paintings, figures and deeds of different eras are isomorphic at different times.

Through the subtle pictures, many topics worth exploring are proposed, such as the contemporary reconstruction of the "principles" of Chinese aesthetics, the historical view of the "second dimension", the folding of multicultural time, the Chinese experience of "ready-made products", and so on.

Xu Lei looks forward to the future with a gesture of looking back, and finally uses the programming of "looking at the world" to find the empathy of cultural particularity and universality.
