Features: Looking at Fang Lijun's paintings, your eyes are often surprised, and then it gives you a sense of unease. Is it due to the phenomenon of figures that are huge to the point of distortion? Or the unrestrained simplicity in color? In fact, this feeling does not come solely from the images and colors he creates. In his charming works, the unsettling emotions seem like some unclear fungi spreading in every corner of the canvas, even hidden within the bumps of the burlap's weave. This makes it impossible for you to casually walk away from his paintings without a second glance. His painting subjects are always people. He seems accustomed to placing figures in extremely simplified environments. In his paintings, people are the absolute subject, to the point where they can be considered his only focus. This is not an exaggeration. Therefore, the meaning in his paintings should be sought more from the people he depicts.
