The Artist is part of the 4th generation of Chinese contemporary art artists.

Artistic approach: "This work is a summary of my experience living in France. What I saw and heard during these three months deepened my constant recognition of existentialism, just like painting, which has no no sense per se, all senses are artificially attached. I try to disrupt and rearrange the colors extracted from my favorite works, to layer, cover and smudge all my chaotic thoughts on the canvas. I find rules and fun in the messy mess situation, veiling those gorgeous colors with a layer of haze, seemingly blooming, but still like 'the Truman show.' I keep the balance between clear and blurry, leaving empty space between intentional and the unconscious. This white can be a crack or a bit of purity, among the jumble of colors, if you can find an eye to stare at for a long time, then you have seen through the picture a little."
