Contemporary | Wang Wanglin oriental heroes


Young artist Wang Ruilin

Wang Ruilin (1985-), born in Anshan, Liaoning, is a young artist in Beijing. After graduating from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he began to create the series of Dreams of Dreams in 2012. He said: “Because of this real and false world of impermanence, the restlessness and goodness gradually brought me. In this way, the soothing narrative of the work allows me to find the balance of my soul. Let nature take its course and bring to my creation Soil and sweet springs. ”

Wang Ruilin said that isolation from this world is painful, but it can also reduce the impetuosity and temptation of the world, and let him see the essence and value of life. As the main work of the Dream by Dream series, Dream by Ark represents most of his original intentions and emotions.

Dream by Dream series Ruilin

The next series is about Sun Wukong’s sculpture called “Mi · Hang”. Before making this sculpture, he studied all the monkey images of China and the West. He thinks that Sun Wukong in the United States and imported monkeys are all large and one kind. The image of King Kong. He thinks this understanding is wrong. He thinks that Sun Wukong is a monkey because in animals, the monkey is a kind of spirit beast, and the wisdom is relatively high. It should be won by wisdom and aura, so the direction of Chinese and Western understanding is different. He believes that what really represents Chinese superheroes is not tights and muscular blood vessels. It does not need those hard conditions to prove himself, more should be internal.


“Hidden” series of works

Many people do not understand why he was a monkey. He replied, “I just want the world to see the Eastern hero.”

Wang Ruilin’s intention to create Qi Tian Da Sheng

Wang Ruilin’s intention to create Qi Tian Da Sheng is to let the world see the appearance of an oriental hero. I always think that the great saint of the hide-out series is Wang Ruilin himself. From the work itself, this quiet, formidable and powerful aura is undoubtedly his own. It seems that Wang Ruilin himself is also happy to hide this energy under a calm appearance, like the sea of ​​gentle wind, the undercurrent surging but quiet.


“Circus” series of works

He always remembered the first time he was touched when he saw Xu Beihong’s “Running Horse” when he was 4 or 5 years old. In his eyes, it was a subtle fusion of Eastern detachment and Western reason. Coupled with Wang Ruilin’s love for horses, horses gradually became the theme of his creation in a period of time, and eventually formed a series of “horse drama”. He blended the life energy of this animal into a quiet gesture, creating a wonderful tension in the work.

infinite charm of art

Wang Ruilin believes that once the work is completed, he will exist in a completely independent form, no longer under the author’s control. In the face of viewers, different life backgrounds and hearts, the original intention of creation is no longer important. Wang Ruilin believes that once the work is completed, he will exist in a completely independent form, no longer under the author’s control. In the face of viewers, different life backgrounds and hearts, the original intention of creation is no longer important. Of course, people will try to understand the work with their own values, world view, and aesthetic consciousness. The harder you understand, the more you focus on your feelings. Different feelings are also connected through the same work. This makes us viewers also become participants in the work. This is the meaning of his existence and the infinite charm of art.


“Circus” series of works


If music is a flowing art, then sculpture is still music. Wang Ruilin’s work may not be the best in China today, but it can be said to be one of the most moving works.

Art is not just an ornament, but a window. When we gaze at it, we gaze at the great moment that the world once had.

he ambiguous nature of human nature

Ren han used pencil as the main material to carry out an orderly study in the field of plastic arts. Using graphite’s essence to present reflection and texture, and through the outline of his painting, we see a two-dimensional plane, but the artist’s special treatment of the picture makes us feel a sense of volume, as it happens with sculptures. His works often use mirrors, labyrinths, water, and virtual landscapes to reveal the ambiguous nature of human nature, explore the boundaries of sketches and sculptures, and the possibilities.

“Maze” by Ren han

The power of art is to wake up the soul. The reason why art can support us to seek truth is that art can play down the self-center. It requires us to observe and understand, and to do our best to express and gain valuable experience.

In “Mirror” series, he said that he chose it because the mirror will have a reflection when it is photographed, it is visually similar to the graphite texture. With white as the base, the relationship between black and white is more confusing in the Mirror.The line gathered in the center is like a road to the exotic world. Infiltrating, hitting the wall, and reflecting, lead the viewer into a spiritual space of meditation.

“Mirror Seires” by Ren han

“I don’t have rules in the form of works. I set myself the rule of not creating new images, but reducing, reorganizing, and copying ready-made images and ready-made products. Because it is realistic or abstract, as long as it is hand-made.. I choose to be a developer and implementer of ideas.” He said

In the world we live in, every item is unique. They have different self-expressions and they hold different emotions and hopes. Only by doing everything possible to faithfully restore every seemingly ordinary item will people see the purest beauty in the world. That kind of beauty will lead people and be brave in themselves.
