licheng Tao

Born in Suzhou, graduated from Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts (Affiliated Middle School) in 1975, graduated from Central Academy of Arts and Crafts in 1982, and went to Hong Kong in 1986. He has been engaged in textile printing and dyeing design work, and incorporates design inspiration into artistic creation. His works have a strong romantic color, rich in personality and splashing, like ancient painting splashing ink. They precipitate the depth and level of thinking when spraying paint, and then continuously change the color stacking to pour out rich and varied combinations, with infinite Chinese and Western charm, never getting tired of and strong visual impact. His work style is unified, but not uniform, which is commendable. He has participated in large-scale biennials and art fairs at home and abroad many times, and is now a professional artist working at Oscar. Si - CEO of Hong Kong company, his works have signed a cooperation agreement with the American Oscar Group for limited global distribution.
I have specially prepared several small paintings for this exhibition. In my creative process, I first developed from small to large, and now I have a new experience of returning from large to small. It is not easy to be small yet refined. I compare abstract paintings to playing Go, layout, analysis, endgame, ups and downs, and twists and turns. The ultimate outcome is prediction and termination. When you meditate and look at the painting, your mind is calm, and a smoke-free endgame ends.
Artist's self description
I don't know why these graphics appear here instead of those. Everything is just an introduction. I choose those unfamiliar or familiar forms intertwined together, watching them meet in random logic. Where will I turn and where will I shout to stop? All of this starts from the initial foundation, recorded by me over and over again, and constantly pushed back and over again. As I polish them, they will eventually present a new and very certain face. Everything in the process is free, and they slowly grow The characteristics of the material and my labor established it, and in the end, what I saw was ambiguous taste, chaotic thinking, and always subtle and quiet taste.
