Picture of Foraging Painting

What’s the world we are living? What’s the scene of all things that we perceive? Real and phony, eternal and changeable, touchable and often lost in dimly light. Since the beginning of mankind, people have obsessing over these questions. Some of them had begun to practice an original graphical individual perception that painting and carving on the rocks or in caves by using branches and so on. Through this simple and clear way, people have started exploring the relationship between the living environment and the world around them. As a result, painting became an expression of the individual cognition that has been through years. With the development of human society, from the original abstract simple language, painting has been gradually forming a complex linguistic expression system through specific and diversified ways. As a special language, painting has the integrative narrative function and the more euphemistic and symbolized meaning. The painting could both deliver the spirit through abstract symbols, and hint the abstract philosophical thought by using the concrete image. My painting falls into the latter category. The painting canvas is something like a drama stage, and different characters constitute different stories, which are the visualized cognition of mine to the environment around me. My painting may express sadness beneath the surface of happiness, tragedy beneath the surface of joy, passion beneath the surface of calm. Painting is my exploration of the thinking of the world around me and consists another world of mine.
