ABOUT THE ARTWORK

There is a unicorn in everyone's heart. Xixi, for me, is the hero in my heart. His huge single horn declares strength and merit. He is powerful and invincible. At the same time, he is also a mortal. He is going to challenge those mundane new and old, those unreasonable and conformist. The most powerful force is not used to attack, but an implicit explosive force, a spiritual core that is not angry and self-pretentious.

The aesthetic temperament of the East has the greatest influence and inspiration for me in its charm and strength. The eastern classic sculptures that we can see today give me the greatest impression of the shape of "circle", from the lines to the shapes, all present a kind of "circle" wisdom. I am an uncompromising fan of oriental aesthetics, and I practice it in my own artistic creation. When I was a child, my parents and family gave me a very relaxed and positive childhood. Outside of my studies, I liked to study and make "weapons" and "martial arts secrets". The sword represents my spiritual will, which can stifle evil, promote justice, and express my inner free soul. This is probably my very romantic "Martial Arts Dream" at first, a kind of spiritual pursuit that is divorced from reality. I think that my creative content may have already laid the groundwork for the transition from children to teenagers. Teenagers are always pinned on hopes for the future. Everyone has a "rebellious period" in the sociological sense, why are we defined as "rebellious" and "rebellious"? Because we initially formed our own worldview, began to have thoughts, and tried to integrate knowledge and action. What is a knight? They are a group of free people who came into being when the ruling class in ancient times oppressed and could not solve the problem. They are full of justice, love to fight injustice, and be kind and righteous. Later, these shining points were gradually integrated into the bones and blood of many Chinese people and became a kind of inheritance, which penetrated into various fields, and groups of people who contributed great energy to history and society appeared. Huo Qubing, Yan Zhenqing, Wen Tianxiang, Yu Qian, Wang Yangming, etc., either in temples or in the arena, all of their actions and deeds have the characteristics of knights. A great soul who never conforms to the crowd. The knights in my works are young and mature, a little melancholy, and full of deep thoughts. This image is my exploration of some information about the depths of power, born in the process of self-introverted digging, cultivation, and output. temperament and state of thinking. I hope that he can carry a kind of concern that transcends his own likes and dislikes and has a bigger pattern. These works born from my hands are another "I", but they are stronger than me, can do things I can't do, say things I can't say, think, tell, and talk with a chivalrous spirit.
