Huang Xi (Simao)

China

In general, modern contemporary art moves forward along two lines: one is a formalistic presentation based on purely pictorial exploration, and the other is an expression of conceptual will in the context of the larger cultural form. The former actively explores formal innovation and breakthroughs, bravely breaking the boundaries of materials and media to seek greater expressive possibilities; the latter focuses on expressing human emotions, searching for philosophical reflections in the social landscape and humanistic spirit, injecting concepts in addition to the sense of form, and bringing a kind of criticism and reflection through a concrete view of the present. The latter focuses on expressing human emotions, finding philosophical reflections in social landscape and humanism, injecting concepts with a sense of form, and bringing a kind of criticism and reflection through a concrete view of the present. His specific treatment of folds gives his paintings a sense of both figurative realism and a distinctly personal absurdity. Whether it's a paper-drenched feast, an aimless swing scene, or a wandering eagle on a rock, Huang Ruoxi's control of the image is very appropriate, and beneath the realistic surface, the "folds" bring about a spiritual crush and distortion of the soul, leading the viewer to the absurdity of the realistic context, thus reflecting the inner psychedelic situation of the present. It draws the viewer into the absurdity of the real context, thus reflecting the inner psychedelic situation of the present. This "fold" is not only the artist's unique creative language, but also the externalization of a kind of spiritual distortion, and the hedonistic scene of feasting and drinking further strengthens the inner expression of this distortion, materializing a certain reality, becoming a symbol, a mark, and a witness. In the artist's work, the master of power dominates everything, and whoever has the power can have magic like a wizard.
