About the art
Artist statement
Lan Zhaoxing attempts to use the language of painting to express the philosophical realms of spirituality. In her work she chooses the elements from the two mutable worlds of nature and self, and gives them color and form, trying to make an emotional response and intellectual thinking logically consistent. Lan grew up in the mountains and served in an institution isolated in the mountains during her 10-year service in the military. The mountains pinned her contradictory feelings about the homeland. The works is presented at Between Mountains in Fou Gallery, 2019. Most of the paintings in the exhibition were created in Lishan, Shanxi, and Fujian Fuding. She linked between the real landscape and the art history references to extract a painting language between naturalism and abstraction, attempting to give clarity and balance to order, with both rhythmic musicality and architectural eternity.
兰昭形试图用绘画语言来表述形而上学的哲学领域。她从自然和自我这两个可变的世界中选择需要的作品要素,并赋予了色彩和形式。山寄托了她对故土的矛盾情结,也是在军队十年服役生涯中的精神寄托。这件作品在否画廊2019年的展览《山间》中呈现。展览中的画作大多在山西晋南历山和福建福鼎创作,而她将现实风景和视觉经验联系在一起,提炼出一种介于自然主义和抽象艺术之间的绘画语言。在对山中风景的描绘中,她寻求一种理性而平衡的秩序感,而在其中又有跳跃的音乐性。
