Sun Daliang Solo Exhibition – Spicy Fairy Tale
"Xiaoyou and Xiaoxiu" is Sun Daliang's first solo exhibition in Shiwan Space. The exhibition focuses on 30 paintings he created in recent years. The theme of the exhibition is in the form of fairy tales, highlighting the consistent humor and eroticism in Sun Daliang's creations. The design of the exhibition space is based on the colors in his works to highlight the "fairy tale" colors. As a painter with a unique style, Sun Daliang uses simple and straightforward painting language to wonderfully connect daily images, psychological images and symbolic images in absurd situations, allowing the audience to enter a psychoanalytic self-experience .
Whether it directly depicts "sex" or projecting "sex" on figures and still life in Sun Daliang's works, his paintings always have a "shy" expression, the modeling is always vague in details, and the brush strokes are always hesitating. , The colors are mostly dotted. But the restraint in the language of these paintings is appropriate and precise, because it focuses the audience's attention on the image itself to the greatest extent, not on the painting. The restraint of language, the abstraction of the background, the clearness of the image and the vividness of the theme, and considering the small-scale preference of Sun Dazliang, his paintings thus acquire a fable-like style.
Recently, more and more "mysterious" images have appeared in Sun Daliang's works, mostly abstract shapes for no reason, such as the black sphere in the empty background, the black cuboid in the night sky, and the heads of two women. On the bag. Visually, Sun Daliang deliberately used high-density shaping and color scales to enhance, and also used a flat background to contrast the volume of these shapes, making them even more abrupt. These images are not so much psychological as they are spiritual. They jump out of surrealist aesthetics and point to absurdity in the philosophical sense.
