The Visage Of China by Yao Lu (China, 1967)
Yao Lu: “Generally speaking, my works use the form of traditional Chinese painting to express the visage of China. China is developing increasingly，and produce many things under increasing construction. Meanwhile many things have disappeared. Those clump and rubbish covered with the “shield” is general phenomena in China. I desire the world to make a benign transformation. People must protect the environment and Water. The work implies that the world will become more and more harmonious. Photography can be understood traditionally, it can record many histories beforetime, let people go back sometimes many years ago; Photography also is very contemporary, it can regroup and re-edit the things that you saw explicitly, let people produce the delusion in front of works, you can see true and untrue image. Concerning the style of my works, I advocate to hold beautiful feeling of the frame, including composing of the frame, line, density and available the regularity of painting. I think one good workpiece is composed by many factors, it should represent the cultivate and ability of artist. The good workpiece has intelligence. The ductility of photography provides big expressive space for me, I can have many ways for my creations.”
