The human mind is very similar to the "black hole", and the difference with the "black hole" is that the human mind is everywhere, it embraces all things and is not attached to all things. The artist's creative thinking is a process from scratch, and the mind absorbs various elements from objective reality and transforms subjective thinking into pictures. The broader the human mind, the more powerful the ability to absorb and project, all of which are related to the artist's ideological dimension. Like a "black hole", the artist's thought absorbs various elements from nature, society, life, feelings, joy and pain, and transforms them into unique forms of artistic expression. As the artist Zhao Zhigang said: "Yesterday and today's life state is different, artistic creation not only needs to seek truth and truth, but also needs to seek new changes." ”
