Born in Beijing, Liu Xuguang works as director at new media art lab of Beijing Film Academy, he had studied in Japan and taught in Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music.
DEFINITE AND INDEFINITE showcases both abstract ink painting and imaging art. Liu Xuguang’s application of the post-modern expression method is not a mere language problem but a creative way to describe the present existence. It is from the demand of the present reality that the significance of tradition springs up; at the same time, it is also implied that inheriting classic paintings simply and impractically does not make any sense to artistic and cultural development. The conceptional ink painting does not necessarily require a hermeneutical explanation, its objective nature lies hidden behind the surface of the ink and wash. Since the civilization progress is to be defined by the tracks or marks of human impact on nature, Liu Xuguang abstracts these marks and entrusts them with different connotation. The creation of forms is the nature of art, while the thinking of life and humanity is the core of culture. By means of Liu Xuguang's own artistic language, we look forwards to search for the local spiritual source, and the nature of the ink painting.
