GOLDEN ARTS

Shaohua NONG

Painter. Shanxi, China.

"My way of practicing art is focused on communicating with the world subconsciously. I discuss the topics of urbanization and China's agricultural traditions. I am interested in the contrast between realism and illusion, order and chaos, light and darkness, happiness and depression, distortion and natural states, and being and non-being [...]. I enjoy walking through reality and fantasy, and attempt to involve the audience in the plots that I create in my paintings, and I want to see the audience question my works, so that they are pushed to rethink the natural and social environment in which we exist."

Experience is not creation, it is accessible to all. Art works are independent worlds, and the birth of each work is a creative miracle. My works are coincidental, subconscious, meditative, and fervently passionate. Some of the recent ones are titled, "An Anonymous Place," "Portrait of an Anonymous Person," and "An Anonymous Afternoon," which are aimed to detach the works from specific places, people, and times, making them broader and more fluid, giving the audience more room for interpretation. These works are not mere reflections of my life experience nor sketches of my visual experience—simple presentations and expressions like that would make the works straightforward and narrow. I think there must be more information and ideas behind every good painting, through which the audience can feel the excitement of the painter, facing the canvas, full of the desire to speak and articulate.
