Leng Guangmin
Leng Guangmin is one of the outstanding painters born in the 1980s. He had already begun consciously exploring a peculiar way to break the traditional painting paradigm as early as he was studying in the Oil Painting Department of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts. Contrary to the brushstrokes piled up with paint, Leng Guangmin introduces a brand new physical space in the painting with the action of cutting. Cutting is not only his artistic method but also his attitude towards art. It is sharp, decisive, and not tolerant of beaks. Leng Guangmin uses relatively constant painting techniques to continuously dissect materials or images. They may be drawn by certain clues, but there has never been a subject that can be accurately summarized. The most charming feature of Leng Guangmin’s paintings lies in the ubiquitous tension formed by confrontation in the painting, which is the collision and complementation of colors, the smoothness and traces of the material, and the firm edges and gradual changes of the texture, and the negative and positive shapes of the structure. Leng Guangmin is precisely using this to refine the inner order under a certain complex diversity, an extremely abstract state of constant flux that only borrows the image to reveal its shape.
