吕岩的绘画气质更多去除了传统在无形中带来的“雅”和“腻”，他画面里野蛮断裂处所显露的痕迹，笔触与擦痕始终带来一种痛感，就像一个病人无法自拔地沉浸在疼痛里，享受着只属于自身的快意痛楚，在这里画家把自己抛给了无解的绝望。画面里的断线无时无刻的在提示着观者肉身性在他的作品里无法被替代。
Born in Tangshan, Hebei in 1981, he graduated from the Oil Painting Department, Studio 4, at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, in 2005. He currently lives and works in Beijing.
Despite the lack of “elegance” and “greasiness” that traditional skills bring to paintings, the traces of the brutal rupture in Lv Yan's works, the brushstrokes and scratches always produce a kind of pain. It's like a patient who can't help but revel in the pain, enjoying the pleasure of pain that's all their own. The artist throws himself into an unresolved desperation. There is a physicality to his work that cannot be substituted for through the collapsed lines in his paintings.
