Luo’s “Light & Shadow Series” depicts a couple resting after work. The glittering golden light symbolizes that they have fallen into a dream. Liu depicts the daily state of Yang Hua, one of his friends. In the past two years, Liu painted many of his friends, focusing on the vitality and vulnerability of life.

Yu has a strong female consciousness, and has always focused her eyes on herself and the surrounding environment. Her paintings tend to present a psychological surreal scene. In “Hole-punch Cloud,” the artist shows the female life state. The figure in the painting seems to fall into a black hole and float over the clouds. She stares at viewers calmly and attracts the viewers’ attention.

Xu’s “The Hidden Story: Mount Huangshan” seems to be inspired by a splash-color painting by Zhang Daqian. The collage of plastic bags in different colors presents an amazing blending of azurite, malachite, ochre and ink on frosted glass.
