As one of the pioneers of contemporary Chinese painters, Liu Fengzhi has been trying to reveal the spiritual dilemma of modern people with images that transcend time and space, wonderful and treacherous imagination and fables from the Tian'anmen series full of political metaphors in the 1990s to his works with strong expressionism in the late stage.
In the Doll (Lot 1095) 2001, on the desktop in the middle shot, a broken doll is discarded at will. The time traces and childhood memories on the doll are still hidden in it, but the doll itself is useless and abandoned by its owner and times. Only a few simple combinations of objects and images quietly arouse the memory of childhood. The objects in the painting are simple and childlike, with childish shapes and rough brush lines outlining the outline. The elegant brush is cursory, which is wonderful between similarity and dissimilarity, and full of formal interest; The fresh and elegant gray and blue tones are used in the color, and the dreamy sky and the memories on the table together compose a vanished childhood ballad.
