ZHIGANG,SHI [SHILI] https://shiliart.org/about-shili/

Artist and Poet, he explores all kinds of possibilities from concrete to abstract. From classical painting techniques, Tempera and so on, he experiments with the relationship between remodeling and light and shadow, color, space and spiritual essence of painting. Enjoys classical music, studies the spiritual connotation of eastern classical culture and western philosophy and finds an artistic path that suits him.
He is like a fervent "cultivator of precepts", questions the truth and explores the depth of colors, removes the inner disorder, returns to simplicity, purity and a primitive state. 
The successive births of new lives have made him truly understand the meaning of love and life. His art comes from his heart, putting aside any impetuous and noisy society, feels the truth of nature, the breath of life, the joy of growing and the quiet happiness.

In my opinion the Contemporary Arts is a kind of expression of free. The most sustained pattern in my work is something like life that comes from the collision between ideal and reality. Some of it is just like the beautiful summer flower, and some is so calm as the vast sea. My work is like a symphony of fate, which is rich and lovely.The feeling modest texture in the canvas is just like the caress to our favorite people, we are seeking a deeper love, a passion near the essence of life. Sinking, to the end of the time.

Simply spaeking, the pursuit of my drawing is insights on the nature and life. I prefer to let the natural things embed into my body, feeling the slight changes slowly. Then I use my well know paiting materials to express the interesting and wonderful process. I pursuit the freedom beyond the specific object, and I explore the spiritual word of object. As no leaves are exactly the same in the world, my work cannot copy or facsimile. It is a kind of emotional sublimation, a kind of independence of the spirit exploration outside the object. There exists something we can perceive but cannot see in the world. They’re wonderful. I try to express them in my own way, which leads to my works come out. In fact, it is difficult to express them accurately by words. I would like to show what I am thinking and watching with poetic inclination, such as anger, romance, criticism, praise and so on.

Cling to the inner true feelings, I benefitted from the Chinese tradition of Zhuangzi, Lao tze, and the ancient Indian philosophy of mysticism, and learnt skill and technique from constantly speculating about the original Italy religious painting drawing by unknown pious master painter in “Dan opera” age and those western classical master such as Botticelli, Titian, Rembrandt, and so on.

“Technology can be on the way, art can connect by god.into the interior…” For the pursuit of perfect quality, I sometimes spend several years to draw a piece of work repeatedly, but sometimes paint at one go is also well.I am connected to the ancient of days, or in another time and space when I was painting, such as a impressionism music of Debussy and Ravel, which can feel the breath of the universe.
