Contemporary Chinese Artist Li Jikai Oil Painting Art Appreciation – The Child on Mushroom

Posted on November 24, 2011 by qianchh

Artist Li Jikai Cartoon Oil Painting Work – The Child on Mushroom

Painting Title: The Child on Mushroom

Artist: Li Jikai (China)

Painting Size: 150*200cm

Media: Canvas, propylene

Creation Time: unkown

Oil paintings created by artist Li Jikai reflected a fable situation that a generation of the idea era now declined rapidly, and reproduced the self-form that belongs to the true meanings of this generation of paintings. As a representative of post-70s paintings, artist Li Jikai is a main practitioner of cartoon painting.

Let’s view at the oil painting work “The Child on Mushroom” created by artist Li Jikai, “A child at high place in meditation who is standing on a mushroom which is just the at height of this fable’s imagination. These kinds of pillars with fairy tale imagery all shown a picture of mechanical instability to empty, the image that a child standing on mushroom show a sub-balance feelings and the illusion status of daydreaming, at the high place with his foot vacant, but the child seemed t be no awareness of the danger of falling, he was in meditation just like a Zen master or a old person, aside from paying attention to his own inner meditation, he did not mind the ideal of the outside world. This ignorance of the child to the sense of falling to the ground, and the self-meditation status almost in an absolute state, that make the painting created by Li Jikai full of a type of surging visual power.

The inner world of artist Li Jikai is certainly not a happy world. Most of us, when think of childhood, the image appeared in the mind usually is children playing with teddy bears and plush lamb and faces covered with smile, or it comes to Chinese children, we would expecting a small sun who enjoyed all the love of his/her family members, but in paintings of artist Li Jikai, the leading actor is always a single child, who lived in a dysfunctional space full of rubble and gravel, or a moonlike environment filled with sadness and depression.

A disintegrating world besieged him, the only eternity is his aloneness: to walk or sit on piles of rubble, almost submerged by a flood, or take a rest at a desert full of rocks. His life was always full of danger, flooding, burning or thunder. Every detail of these images reveals a sense of desolation and alienation, and dissolved in a dripping monochrome surface.

The world of artist Li Jikai are beige, black and gray mostly, and the children under his brush were lost in a fuzzy state which make people thought of nightmare.

About Artisit Li Jikai:

Mr Li Jikai was born in 1975 and comes from Chengdu，Sichuan.　In　2004，he graduated　from　the　Oil　Painting　Department　of　Sichuan　Fine　Art　Institute，and　earned　a　postgraduate　degree.
