Struggle Inside

LiuYiaoXian Work Show

       By looking at LiuYaoXian’s water series, you can always feel something horrible, struggle, and unsafe under the peaceful surface. This is closely connected with the artist’s experience of falling into the river in his childhood which is so impressive to him, even now each time when he goes to swimming on the ChaoBai river near SongZhuang, he always will have a feeling that he can never come back alive. This feeling keeps lingering on his mind, penetrating into his daily life. Fortunately, he said, he comes back in safe. Beautiful things don’t look beautiful, peaceful life isn’t really peaceful, human being is always struggling helpless and exhausted in the cruel reality. This is LiuYaoXian’s understanding of life from another point of view.
