Li zhanyang
The Look of Chinese Patient of Li Zhanyang
The recent artworks of Li Zhanyang explore to inherit and transfer traditional Chinese folk sculpture; stress sensual and showy revelry and make up grisly expression behind the dissipation. Li doesn’t utilize common realism method; instead, he brings in lots of illusions inspired from Chinese folk sculpture, eluding Athens academic style and stressing irrational modern beauty criteria. The attitude of “vita activa” leads to the distinct creation of Chinese in contemporary. The dramatic crossover of Chinese society makes “anxiety and envy” become nearly a common symptom and sub-health such as spiritual empty interrupt people. The artwork of Li seems to reveal various morbidity of Chinese and force people to be faced with the reality. Actually, what Li wants to explore is not only the reality but also general human nature. As for an artist, Li persists in his responsibility to the society.
