The Human World

Liu Qinghe disdains the stereotypical style of Chinese painting, which is far from the reality of life. He summarized his work as focusing on the present life within the scope of his ability, highlighting the eternal theme of people and life with the feeling, thinking and lifestyle of ink painting. Instead of describing specific scenes and events of urban life, he focuses on expressing the boredom, helplessness and emptiness of urban life. As an excellent contemporary figure painter, he knows that it is an unrealistic dream to try to depict the spiritual life of modern people comprehensively and carefully, but he can suppress his passion from a certain personalized perspective and watch the swimmers in the trend of modern urban life. Thus, in the consciousness to paint for subtle expression of the limitations of the psychological change of modern at the same time, he put into greater enthusiasm, observation hidden behind the face of modern endless thoughts and personal privacy orientation, to uncover the busy with carefree, lifted up his eyes visible to the ambush in the inner depths of people's soul trajectory is presented to us.
