The Nonexistent Story, |
Plurality:
Repeated Arrangement Series, Woodcut,1997 |
| In these print works, the individuals
are always in the fragile, manipulated and fake environment, but at
the same time, they seem to or not to realize the manipulation and
fakeness, and they seem to be happy. These symbolic expression and
concise symbols not only point the modern spirit, but also indicate
that the artist has some connection with the traditional Chinese artists,
especially with Shi Tao and BaDaShanRen(1626-1705),
who was painter of Ming Dynasty, he used to express his views on the
social problems by the images of the flowers and birds. Though his
paintings express the hidden doubts about the Qing Dynasty, the individual
and personal expressions in his paintings also have some "metaphysical"
meaning. Therefore, sometimes his paintings are regarded as the beginning
of emphasizing the individual and personal values in the Chinese art
history. Generally the images selected by an artist indicate his/her judgment of values. These works of Kang Jianfei do continue the thinking about the personalities and individuals of the modern society, and these problems should have not been concealed by the modern mainstream art. -Art Critic Mr. Pi Li |
