Notes

For years, Liu Fengzhi has been a hopeless idealist. That is
why to him ''I love Beijing''s Tian''an- Men Square'' type of
collectivism complex and connotation of ideology is not
the product of naïve opportunism but a stimulant of scene
recording based on the stipulation of personal spiritual
development, and that lead to his complex feelings when
he has to define again self value and the meaning of existence
after the loss of spiritual homeland. Tian''anmen
Square, which is apt to become a target for nationalism and
post-colonial culture to relieve their feelings, remain the
subject of his scenery series, but the context is stealthily
transformed. Free strokes with pure hues, these are compressed
into a more and more flatter space, and therefore
the works are shrouded by a fantastic and surrealistic
atmosphere. Obviously, guided by a fundamental spiritual
schema, Liu creates with ease one picture after another,
with wit and enjoying himself. Painting has almost become
a world where the artist forgets himself.
