Artist Statement:
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 ...

CRITICS¡¯ ARTICLES SELECTION
Lei Liang's painting is quite special with his painting methods. 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)
