| 回首这几年日夜陪伴自己的百来幅作品：空气里有一点与生活背道而驰的理想、乡愁、等待和禁锢的冥想。虚化的人物面部突显了形体的表达，而细节夸张的背景则衬托出主体精神的诗意存在。最近一部分作品在题材上又有所延伸，依旧灰调的笔触却使意境更深刻激烈起来。从个体的飘零到群体的迷失，从哀伤的静坐到放逐的游行，仿佛灵魂在真实和自由的绘画感知中获得解脱。
Looking back on those paintings that accompanied me in my studio night and day the past few years, I feel a hint of sentiment. For lost dreams, with nostalgic longing for my hometown far away, regret on unrealized fantasies. But always expecting and hopeful.
The blank or blurred faces in my paintings bring forward their bodies and what the bodies have to convey; the exaggeratedly detailed background in contrast lay stages for the main spirit’s poetic existence. My recent paintings expanded on the themes. The gray tones give the paintings a feeling of profundity and disquiet. From the lost individuals to the wandering crows; from solemn sitting and pondering to wandering exile, the spirit and the soul roam between reality and free expression of art.
