追寻着反复覆盖的痕迹,观者可循回一个在不存在的边缘上徘徊的创作现场,它始终未完成。在自我审视和对现实的反馈中,刘川保有警惕,不断尝试、怀疑、推进,这个过程循环往复。创作里无奈的幽默感,是裹在严肃内核外的一层糖衣,仅为方便服用;画面初看浅显但有后劲儿,随着凝视的深入细节慢慢被发觉出来。刘川不会刻意强调技术,他试图充分地借用绘画来接近每一次精准的表达。


Born in 1991 in Jilin, graduated with a bachelor's degree from the Traditional Chinese Painting Department of Luxun Academy of Fine Arts in 2013, and obtained a master's degree from the Printmaking Department of China Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2018. He currently lives and works in Yanjiao, Hebei. 

Tracing over repeated traces, viewers can follow back to a creative scene that hovers on the edge of nonexistence, perpetually unfinished. In self-examination and feedback from reality, Liu Chuan maintains vigilance, constantly experimenting, doubting, and pushing forward, a process that loops endlessly. The reluctant sense of humor in his creations is a sugarcoating wrapped around a serious core, simply for ease of consumption. The surface of the image appears simple at first but carries a lasting impact. As one gazes deeper, details gradually come to light. Liu Chuan does not deliberately emphasize technique; instead, he tries to make full use of painting to approach each precise expression.
