(千里江山图-礼花) A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains: Firework

2024
Oil on Canvas
180 x 180 cm

此画源自著名的古画《千里江山图》，用它的一个局部“演义”而成。它远观是一张传统山水画，近看运用了油画的技巧，想表达一种感受：在今天大多数状态下，我们已不太“传统”了，可能只有外表、肌肤的特征，还保留着东方这一指标，第一稿 21 年完成，但一直不太满意，直到春节，在电视上看到节日的烟花，给我带来了新的灵感!
因为现在的世界仍然纷争不断，战争冲突在不同地区发生......所以我幻想着假如：军机、导弹、大炮发射的都是“礼花”，这世界应该会更和谐，生态环境也会变得更美好！
This painting is derived from a section of the renowned ancient masterpiece "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains," reimagined through creative interpretation. From a distance, it appears as a traditional landscape painting, yet upon closer inspection, it employs oil painting techniques to convey a reflection: in most contexts today, we are no longer deeply "traditional." Perhaps only the superficial aspects—the outward appearance and texture—retain what is recognized as Eastern. The first draft was completed in 2021, but I remained unsatisfied with it until the Spring Festival, when the festive fireworks I saw on television sparked new inspiration in me!

Given that the world remains fraught with conflicts, with wars and clashes occurring in various regions... I began to fantasize: what if fighter jets, missiles, and cannons launched "fireworks" instead? The world would surely be more harmonious, and the ecological environment would become brighter and more beautiful!
