Sun Yidian said to himself: I often depict inferior toys, tools, and daily necessities, which carry rough clamping lines and random printing, but in my pictures, the state of "them" must be exquisite, beautiful, and full, and even a needle cannot be inserted.

In my paintings, there is often a huge object, its composition is very pure, basically centered, head-up or upward perspective, with a very realistic approach, "smothering" a behemoth to the audience's eyes. This complete exposure of the object abandons the masking, layout, deduction, narrative in painting and instead strives to simplify the language to a minimum. As for color, I often use a variety of highly saturated acrylic pigments, even industrial fluorescent pigments, to achieve the stimulation of the retina by the color of the picture.

In China, which has been in the midst of a social transition to a consumer society since the 1990s, cheap labor has made China the world's factory and the rapid and violent export of a wide variety of goods to the rest of the world. In the process, society is also striving to quickly construct its own cultural symbol system on this basis. Because it is inevitable to rush to make quick gains, it also creates some ironic images. And I was born in this era, so I will try to find Kawaii, which belongs to China, and that cuteness is stretched, cheap, ubiquitous, and full of rapid and large emerging middle-class groups for the explosion of aesthetic needs. It doesn't have delicate lines, even colors, and even rough industrial manufacturing traces, but that's close to the norm of our lives.
