Dawn and Dusk

180x140cm \ oil on canvas \ 2022

" The visual story told in Dawn and Dusk is one of a group of people watching the death of a whale. The use of color is sparse, with the exception of the ropes that bind the whale, which are painted in yellow. My intention was to create a somber atmosphere by way of this visual experience, depicting on the canvas an allegory about the way we examine and understand life.
In this sense, I am inspired by my work in graphic design – the juxtaposition of colored elements and black-and-white images is a concept that originates in the field of design – which I hope to use to accentuate an overbearing sense of stifling tension. Every brushstroke is evidence of my existence, my understanding of and love for art, my plaintive sobs in moments of solitude. The figures appear empty on the canvas, robbed of their physical heft, symbols of the emotionally abstract notion of “human.” All color accumulates on the body of the whale, drawing the eye toward it as center of the composition, and posing the question: What is the lightness of life? What is its weight?
My only hope is that this painting is able to stir something in the viewer, even if only gently. "

Dawn and Dusk 3

180cm x140cm \ oil on canvas \ 2022

A piece of work with symbolism tries to express the proposition that "all sentient beings need the care of wings". It forms a sense of squeezing through large areas of feathers and crowds, highlighting the visual center and stressing the sense of struggle in the picture.


Dawn and Dusk 5

180cm x 140cm \ oil on canvas \ 2022


Moonlight Stroll

170cm x 100cm \ oil on canvas \ 2019

This work is a kind of training for the narrative theme. Influenced by the composition of the film, it tries to express the rich, internal structure, poetic atmosphere and strangeness.


The scenery behind me

105cm x 75cm \ oil on canvas \ 2022

Try to establish a painting connection between the ruins and flowers, form a kind of structure and harmony, in the ruins of the expression of jumping and detached expression and painting elements.

Introduction
-
Liang Xu，
2001 Oil Painting Major at the Fine Arts College, Sichuan Normal University
2005 Member of the Visual Communication Research Group at the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University
2005 – today Independent Artist

I have been painting since I was ten years old and after high school I decided to study it in university. My major was in oil painting and graphic design, which meant my artwork began by exploring the union between the language of painting and design’s utilitarian nature. Over time, I turned away from the design aspect of my earlier pieces and began to focus on the language of painting. Drawing from the work and style of various post-war German artists, I attempted to emphasize the esthetic intensity of my painting while exploring the potential for literary expression through visual art. Realism forms the baseline of my artwork, which is concerned with the humble and mediocre aspects of everyday life and draws from expressionism and emotional abstraction to realize in visual form my experience of living.

About the exhibition

Art is a language that doesn’t need translation. For a long time, art has played an important role in the communication between China and other countries. In the context of economic globalization, cultures from all over the world collide and fuse with each other, forming a multi-cultural network. Chinese culture and various cultures of other countries meet here, forming a strong and diverse artistic atmosphere As globalization makes the cultural and artistic exchanges between countries more frequent and more closely connected, the optimization of the international artistic ecological environment also provides new opportunities for the evolution of art. Art is enriched by exchanges and mutual learning; the development of art requires international exchanges and cooperation, the active participation of artists from all countries, the sharing of ideas, the collision of hearts and the blending of emotions.This initiative is hosted by the Sino-Canada Alliance of Arts and Culture,York University Centre for Asian Research, Sensorium: Centre for Digital Arts and Technology, the Luxun Academy of Fine Arts gallery, and the School of Visual Communication Design of LAFA, with funds from the Canada-China Initiative Grant from York Centre for Asian Research, and Double first-class project approved by Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts.
