Looking at the creations of young artists from imaginative perspectives

At first glance, you'll be drawn to some alien-shaped works, and you might think of the artists talking about breaking the frame and reshaping structures, and indeed there is such consideration. During my recent interaction with Wang Ziqi, I learned that wooden frames are quite expensive. Therefore, Wang Ziqi makes his own wooden frames by hand, and his girlfriend Lai Zhizhun, who also paints, are both third-year graduate students in the oil painting department of Southwestern University for Nationalities. Lai Zhizhun currently has 80 paintings, and the frames are all handcrafted by Wang Ziqi. A few days ago, I also visited their studio. Outside the studio door, there is a terrace piled with various discarded woods. Wang Ziqi would dismantle them and reassemble according to his own ideas. The use of corrugated boards also involves economic considerations. Wang Ziqi: "The idea of 'non-planar pictorial expression' came to me while I was making a back frame. Since I make my own frames, why not make them more interesting?" In his 'Here and Now' series, some works feature flying figures, inspired by the program 'Local' by Chen Danqing. When he introduced the Chinese mural 'Yao Shi Jing Bian Tu' sold abroad, the flying figures in it made a deep impression on him. But as he painted, he still decided to create works that are closer to life. There is also a piece that is a circuit board, which is taken from an old computer of Wang Ziqi, and then he attached it to the corrugated paper work using its inherent layers to simulate skyscrapers.
