Burning Dream
Author: Liu Guangguang


For me, painting is like a road movie filming process on this matter. As the path extends, the scenery keeps changing, new narrative points are constantly triggered, unknown situations happen by chance, and the temptations and struggles that follow. Everyone is bound by The Times, but also by desire and reality engulfed; Everyone has colorful foamy dreams, in which colorful bubbles form. Living in the present, I wonder if the facade of The Times will burn out someday. The ideal in it can only burn with it until it dies.
 
Therefore, I prefer to create a strong color contrast in the picture, which is related to the multi-dimensional "color" of this era. Color is a tool to wake up the self-consciousness covered by the dark. Assuming that darkness is directed by a light, color is one of the ways to create worlds. Desire and pleasure, is the pen of imagination and reality, even if the reality is stained with the pressure of the brush, brought by the physical and mental breakdown, acceptance has become a choice.
 
Classics and popularity have lost their rightful place in the face of The Times. I think all I can do and keep is just let my consciousness go with the wind.
