Don't know whether I have this energy, after the novel “Exceedingly Color” start to writing, “Exceedingly Color” series oil painting creation idea small manuscript are emerging in mind. Years of life accumulation and feelings have been unable to control the impulse to create! Write the own familiar life, the creation of my own painting in heart has become of the historical mission"!!
On his first origin should be perceptual nature in the reflection, when the first time opened the thinking about how to create a truly unique contemporary new works of art, this time I have is a completely rational reflection. Review or even "cramming" in art history, this year to return, a lot of time to read, exhaustion of each period of art we visited, the style, the schools main leader. How to think of the less, Knowing this work is very slow, but who make their starting point set so high!
Thinking to a certain depth, we can feel that the exploration of contemporary art should not be confined to the experiment but to the repeated observation, pointing to the truth, to promote a thorough inquiry and change. Hear about the vanguard of art is from the depth of thinking! The pattern of a kind of thought, the big question of life, constantly caring for the community and go deep into society, media, mechanism, public, to achieve the artistic breakthrough.

In the continuous self stripping, seeking the casting of long-term significance, the achievement of the simple and elegant style, embodiment of contemporary thinking and profound in the simple. The purity of a language is in essence, the purity of a human being and the meaning. so-called meaning before brush!

The formation of thought and language means the embodiment of expression. Shaolei clearly remember the Chinese saying: "The acres of the land in the mind, a pressure of one hundred thousand men! Strive for artistic personality and great tension, to complete the contemporary questioning and spiritual writing. With the strong calling of art, in the repeated life, the insight of the significance of life and the contemporary essence. When you pick up the painting brush and the writing pen the moment, I believe I have confidence, wrote the play strength! Believe that they will be able to quickly and effectively capture and open the reality of the many hidden state.
