Duo Lanna
As for my relation with painting: if I were to breathe in a mouthful of "nitrogen", instead of saying that I chose to do so, it'd be more appropriate to say that it chose me. Nitrogen drifting freely in the atmosphere has always been regarded as a lazy gas, as it appears to be indifferent to everything. Not only is it not inflammable, it also doesn't support life. The first time I wrote the word nitrogen as "njet-rogen", I meant that it had diluted the oxygen in the atmosphere. Under normal circumstances, nitrogen behaves proud and aloof, yet under high temperatures it turns into an overexcited youngster...

Zhu Xianwei
The way I see it, painting is the most direct and complex of all mediums. In an era that is more affected by informatization and virtualization with each passing day, painting retains its vitality, precisely because it has always focused on the genuine experiences of life and required artists to do their utmost for the sake of this endeavor. My painting focuses on nature as an essential theme. Little by little, never-ending urbanization and computational reason are threatening the foundations of human existence. As a result, man seems to have forgotten all about his true hometown, whereas I use painting in an attempt to reach the path leading to a spiritual garden.
