Lei Liang’s Artist Statement I name my art as Chinese Localizationalism at the moment of my art is being exhibited in Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Arts 2008. My art is deeply rooted into Chinese native spirit from a view of contemporary experiences, and based on my typical Chinese art concept and my art experiences that is completely different from current Chinese art. (081015) I am a Chinese oil painter in Beijing. My art is a special Chinese type painting, and it reflects the typical Chinese concept and multi-cultural opinion: east and west. This is a mountains and waters picture based on western techniques. What I am doing is to provide a brand-new experiment in Chinese contemporary art, and establish a new logo for landscape art. I believe China's art will return to China's inner culture and value concept, that is independent of western landscape. My art reflects the eastern harmony and meditation philosophical concept. All the landscape and flowers are purely the symbols of harmony and the inner way to one's summit light. Audience will notice on my paintings the Red Sun over the universe. And we all people of different nations will meet there. That is the struggle of light and darkness. Go to the Sun! Hope is over there! There one see the God! Art is a heavenly steed, powerful and unstrained, soaring across the skies. Lava rolls so strongly that one can’t express oneself without pouring out. Accumulating so long time that one would not give up if no wreaking one’s thought. Talent naturally has no need to do everyday reading or everyday painting. His realization, his consciousness, his confusion and his clearness are all reasonable. Painter is not artist. Artist has the ability to be arrogant and domineering following his inclinations, while painter can only be obedient and submissive. Creation for the majesty and splendeur of mountain and water; Anthem for the heroic exploits and prominence of emperor. I will only create great painting for heroes. Who are heroes? Those who show the utmost fortitude, always charge forward, dare sacrifice and go well up to bridle. China summons heros! Heavy earth and roily sky, both summon the appearance of heros!

I have never seen such kind of paintings before. His colour is that of Cezanne's strokes while his image mode includes Chinese traditional painting spirit, unique and refresh. This experimentary oil painting localization is a courageous testment! Keeping on this painting way, he may auspicate a new painting style. -- Chen Danqin (Contemporary Oil Painting Artist and Critics) I have taught painting in the Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts for dozens of years but I have never met such kind of art modes like Lei Liang's! You one man will have to carry on your shoulder 2 big mountains: Chinese traditional painting and oil painting. This is unprecedented art. If you do well, you will be marvelous! -- Jia Youfu (Contemporary Chinese Ink and Wash Artist) I can see from Lei Liang's artworks the possibility of avoiding China's contemporary art tragedy. -- Wang Guangyi (Contemporary Oil Painting Artist) ENROLLMENT China Contemporary Art Documents 2006, Beijing, 2006 Who’s Who Guide of Art, Florida, USA, 2005 Dictionary of Famous Chinese (Grand Contemporary Culture), edited by China International Who's Who Institute, China Who's Who Dictionary Editorial Press, 1997 Chinese Modern Artists and Their Works, 1997 World Who's Who (Art Volume), edited by Outstanding Chinese and Foreigners Research Center of Hong Kong, 1997 89-90 China Avant-Garde Art Annual, Contemporary Artists and Hong Kong News Press, 1991 OIL PAINTINGS COLLECTION Beijing Jiabao International Auctions Co.
