Diacritics series

André Deran said: Realism is over, painting has just begun.

The tangible appearance of real things cannot express the author's perception of the beauty of things, absorbing Kandinsky's understanding of dots and lines.

Attempts to abstract and symbolize things that focus on reality give rise to a different artistic language and artistic concept, the latter of which closely composes the symbolic elements accumulated in nature into an abstract picture of beauty through academic attempts.

Cold abstract series

Thanks to the artistic inspiration of Malevich and Mondrian, with the idea of streamlining the language of painting, we are committed to expressing the richest aesthetic charm with the most streamlined and capable painting language, and the tangible or intangible emotions and scenery are subjectively condensed into blocks of different sizes, and the color blocks of different sizes and proportions are used to create a cheerful or warm or cold or oppressive emotional picture, and then according to the highly academic point-line surface theory, the placement of the line and the dot is divided to form a comfortable and emotional sense of picture.

DARTPANDA series

Plato: Man is a man by his soul, not in his body.

In the current era of globalization, under the chaotic culture and thought, people's minds have ushered in unprecedented freedom, surveillance, and manipulation. Like a panda, people are black and white, in an ambiguous state between life and death, separated from contradictory truths, and affected by scattered cultural consciousness and fragmented information. Under the excitement of entertainment supremacy, people are unable to control themselves.

Created in the context of the global pandemic, people are highly isolated, faced with distracting information, and the fear and suspicion of death have made people's long-suppressed nerves sensitive and fragile, and their thirst for entertainment and desire and emotional satisfaction has also expanded.

Using Malevich supremacism, Kandinsky's point-line-surface theory. Abstract and symbolize flat cartoon characters to give them a deeper meaning.

The panda is a rare and unique symbol in Asia, and painters like to use pandas to represent themselves. Think about the relationship between people, spirits, and information. Like a panda, people are black and white, in an ambiguous state between life and death, separated from contradictory truths, and affected by scattered cultural consciousness and fragmented information. Under the excitement of entertainment supremacy, people are unable to control themselves.

Related art reviews

In recent years, he has transformed the past painting symbols and language into contemporary art language through cuteness, irony, repetition, flattening, symbolization and other techniques and forms, expressing the spiritual world of the inner emptiness on the surface of the entertainment supremacy era. Most of the works are based on hiphop-style graffiti, which gives the viewer a visual impact with strong contrasting colors.

The young painter is good at using his representative cartoon signs and bright colors to criticize and joke about the influence and manipulation of culture on people, symbolize cute cartoon images, and give them multi-layered meanings to express his rebellion and thinking.

Panda image, head composed of skull image and rebellious smile, cartoon silhouette evokes people's memories of the popular Japanese, European and American cartoon era.

Through his own works, he hopes to allow the audience to connect with the hip-hop art world created by himself.

For example, his colorful visual effects often contain cute pandas, calligraphy splashes of paint, street spray paint juxtaposed with dark elements such as fangs, eyeballs, and skulls, and contain Chinese understanding and speculation about the relationship and destiny of man and spirit.

In his works, the eyes of pandas are either godless, or floating, symbolizing their rich and contradictory emotions and consciousness, unable to self-align. Use cute, popular elements to attract the audience's attention, and then let us notice the emptiness, helpless spirit, and deep content that we often deliberately avoid and cover up under the noisy pictures.

Colorful and powerful vivid images, sometimes violent, sometimes absurd, sometimes tragic, good and evil, solitude and noise, playful attitude and serious philosophical propositions are intertwined.

Lai Zhicheng's works always carry dreamy colors and weird concepts, and behind the cute, hip-hop rebellious painting style reveals a tragic sense of loneliness and fatalism, expressing the spirit of rebellious teenagers who want to resist all restraints, want to maintain their own soul independence, and worry about the feeling of worry, satirizing the streaming media era, the cultural core of the emptiness of business and entertainment, the destruction and manipulation of the integrity of people's spiritual souls by fragmented cultural information, it is not a specific individual, it may be you who read the article.
