In the game of life touch

Young poets, often have qu yuan Yin, white, like drunken poetic only think very much. YiGuoDong - see paintings, easy to think of a comfortable. He put the ancient paintings with miniascape, elegant and not decorative, ancient and very artificialization. This from the scene, but the network game to virtual parody. The fitting, apparently have ulterior motives.

The NiGu poetic peaks, stone, pavilions, drinking tea and Bridges, drawing merriment. Grabs, bird Johnson blade inserted more than person, hand is to cast MengHanYao etc, pot and suddenly lets a person feel cold humor. From the "bai juyi broken dream" such topics, from his standing in the stool "sky" toast, from the moon goddess was feeling "worship of expression, you can really realize game life's psychological tendency.

YiGuoDong grew up in the game, he knows how contemporaries from videos in the joys and sorrows. He wants to do is take the simulation of real feelings, audience can become without thought in awe of circumstances, let the heart with spiritual beliefs, and reaction with the real world history memory, how much.

Then he placed in conflict with violence: the poetic, compassion, and bloody, ancient and present, light and darkness, etc. In his own words, "this conflict is opposite, the mentality, ' 'very awkward, also very complex". He will reveal the game mentality, the only way, namely in the game exposed the game itself watch begins and virtual sex, let people know what assumptions and virtual covered anything. Painters to make center, edge, the dark discerning not only change the visual psychology reveals the screen that is fantastic picture, sense of magic, And the spirit of the reaction caused some comparison, lets a person from entertainment to the real world of illusion and reality of human suffering to life. It is not only the social responsibilities, and art expression of real-life experience is an artist. Because the network generation of truth is not real and virtual opposite, but between the psychological conflict intertwined. From the surface of the senses game recreation to deep psychological reaction to the spirit of the painter, with moderate control, because he didn't want to preach sermons art become the tools. Despite the picture of sorrow and dark pall tragedy, occasionally appear bloodstain scabbers stimulation and arrows, but the provocation aimed to fill the composition is still small gameplay, this and realistic realistic scene is not the same. Just at this point, YiGuoDong borrowed from the traditional Chinese painting composition method. Bird But his historical resources in visual psychology, the potential changes, the involvement of contemporary art of cultural subjectivity. This is a very interesting and instructive.
