Tracing over repeated traces, viewers can follow back to a creative scene that hovers on the edge of nonexistence, perpetually unfinished. In self-examination and feedback from reality, Liu Chuan maintains vigilance, constantly experimenting, doubting, and pushing forward, a process that loops endlessly. The reluctant sense of humor in his creations is a sugarcoating wrapped around a serious core, simply for ease of consumption. The surface of the image appears simple at first but carries a lasting impact. As one gazes deeper, details gradually come to light. Liu Chuan does not deliberately emphasize technique; instead, he tries to make full use of painting to approach each precise expression.
