Changlong Li

Starting somewhere in 2014, Li Changlong no longer firmly believes in any one-off feelings in painting, or, as a seasoned painter, he’s inclined to reject the mature picture effect acquirable in a single practice of painting only after a long time of experience accumulation and repeated exercises. His study of color layers and the boundary enables him to work the inner structure of a painting out of the tug between the overlapping of color layers and the squeeze at the boundary, equipping the rest of the picture with intense complementary and correlative relations, as in the structural significance of each relation therein between form and color due to certain functionality and the connection between the modeling and coloring illustrated by the disassembled shapes and the interlaced visual channels of the painting, which also concerns the outward extension of the painting as to space and extent.
