In recent years, the creation of several major series: I simply talk about the "trace series", "Dongba Text Series" creative motivation. Answer: when it comes to "trace" series of creation, I have to say: the Naxi Dongba text is a very primitive picture of hieroglyphs. From the perspective of the development of writing form. It is also the original oracle. Early forms belong to the origin of the word. The first is carved on wood and stone symbols on the Naxi the language called "Si Lu research study" means "trace symbol image" remember to stay in the wood and stone or wood and stone "". So I have a lot of themes for the "trace series", is to stay in the wood and stone on the cultural imprinting to show, want to show a kind of mottled, old historical sense.
When it comes to "Dongba characters" series of works, I will briefly introduce the Dongba text: in the long history of the Naxi people, according to the needs of life, create a list of more than 1 thousand and 400 words, some refers to things, some say a legend or story. The creators of these words have no theoretical basis, nor a good basis for painting, which is purely based on the imagination and the wealth given by nature. And these Dongba pictographs in today's world is still only in the ancient text symbols, modern and old Dongba experts can still write and read, so it is called the "living hieroglyphs," living dictionary is ancient human. It can be said that Dongba character is the soul of Dongba culture. From the aesthetic point of view, Dongba characters beautiful, each word is a beautiful pattern. Some pictographic straightforward, one can recognize the meaning of it, especially the name of the animal, basically is to draw the appearance of animals, modeling simple and vivid. Indeed, Dongba characters have high artistic value, each Dongba text is a beautiful painting.. I created the "Dongba Text Series" theme song, spring, hunting, men tilling the farm and women weaving Xiachu, harvest etc. it relates to all aspects of daily life.
These series have been the subject of my performance in recent years, I have been trying to figure out how to use the best painting language to show it.
