There is a smoothed woodblock in front of me, it sends forth a smell of the fault of tree in the north forest frequently, the trace of time left on the grain of wood, a graver works very hard and it changes the direction of the river of life, brown blood bleeding, it is the color of life.

I choose printing as my career, just want to borrow it to record my dreams and feelings in every stage of my life, record those inspire me to think and take action in the nature and society. In order to reappear the true state of my mind, seek a language and a kind of comfort.

There is a group of young people who unwilling to remain out of the limelight in Si Mao of Yun N an province. Reduction woodblock print is their communicating language. Since the spring of 1987, I have put down the oil painting brush and taken the graver, tried to practice my art in the form of reduction woodblock print. I was busy running very hard between creation of reduction woodblock print and stagecraft which my own duty. I was always felt nervous and tired at that time. Now looking back of my nonperiodic art works, the unstable appearance of the pictures seem to tell my unstable state of the mind and emotional instability, and conflict between dream and reality. Generally I can divide my art works into two periods according to the style: first period (from 1987 to 1994) is called perceptual period. By impulse of youth, intended to smash bonds of traditional woodblock paintings, included its way of projection and print and all kinds of restriction, began to practice and explore the relationship between technique and expression of reduction woodblock print. I fully used the contingency of reduction woodblock print, constructed the shock of sight during producing, and mixed the technique of expression of oil painting, laid stress on color expression mentally, created a color composition like a symphony, enjoyed the happiness of creation. I live in this hot land that bear and raise me, here is a colorful world, in the village I absorb the cream of the folk art, explore the mystery of life, open the bottle gourd filled with fairy tales. I don't want to just show the localism to the curious people, but try to unite the primitive element and modern style expression. To reveal the primitive existence of nature and human beings, expand the art connotation of life phenomenon. I put subjective red and brown color on the white block, I fight with myself, I am tired but excited, I am depicting illusion one after another. Under that state, I create ?Evening Flute??the Last Comfort for Victim?etc? The second period is from 1994 till now, during this period I thought in contradiction. I would be 40 years old that is the age should be with full self-confidence. I was hesitating in the exploration of art, reality like a mirror, it would not change your former appearance only because you have dream. The home for spirit of human beings return to soak too much helpless ignorance, I try to express it in my works, due to it is my worry in my mind, a kind of pessimistic and horrible plot and explanation of life. No matter classical art or modern art only typical and active character can touch me. I began to pay attention to common people living in the border areas, found the position of humanities and religion in my mind, explored reasons for human beings existence. I expressed the specific world in reduction woodblock print. I didn't create language any more, but to find symbol. I looking for abstract thought in the nature, and find sketch in specific world. I take character as property, let it to say what I cannot say, let it do what I cannot do; find what I cannot find. Stress dramatic effect by shadow of light. I walk along the brightest place to the darkest place, or do the opposite. I would like to take this action which disappear easily as a symbolism of life, let them remained in my paintings, let all kinds of symbols exist in the same space, convey unreal image. Unnecessary colors disappear from this world; hue and mark of cut combine a picture. During this period there are following art works: “Under the Red Sun?“Thunder Far Away?“Dialogue In the Dusk?“In the Wind?“Go Out?etc. I express my opinion through characters, trying brown experience.
