Art critics pointed out Ai Xuan's distinguishing feature as below: taking advantage of the scenery to express emotions sums up Ai Xuan's work. The sentimental figures in his paintings seem lost in profound meditation and stamped with a deep sense of loss. Another characteristic of Ai Xuan's work is to blend desolate emotion with mysterious beauty. His esthetic sensibilities guide audiences to enter a holy and mysterious art world. The concept in his paintings temperate but expressive. The artist never neglects beauty while depicting natural landscape with figures. Even adopting strange composition enhances the image, he never forgets to satisfy audiences with the appreciation of beauty. |
