Putting the cart before the horse, oil on canvas, 160cmx120cm
Let go of the ego and merge with nature itself.
In the past two days, I have adjusted the painting a little, and I don't see too many changes in the whole, and I have made an improvement from the details to the energy.
When I painted this picture, I took it with a warning to all human beings, not only to consider the beauty of the picture, but mainly to make people withdraw from their own narrow paranoid thinking. Look at yourself from the perspective of the whole world, see greatness in smallness, and simplicity in greatness. This idea is mainly related to the fact that I have been engaged in mountain art education for so many years, as well as environmental volunteer services.
When I was doing art work in mountainous areas, I found that the perspective was very simple, and this is the problem of education now, and all subjects are single. Although there are many subjects in the curriculum, the subjects do not integrate with each other, which is boring knowledge. The same goes for environmental protection, if you just promote the protection of the environment, it is difficult for people to maintain it for a long time, and it is even more difficult to do it if you don't care about it.
In the end, I feel that it is a matter of human consciousness, and if people's consciousness is fragmented, there is no way to understand something. We can only treat the current education and environmental issues with our own prejudices, which is even more difficult for those of us who do service work.
Changing people's consciousness, that is, changing others, is the hardest thing to do. For me, I first changed myself, starting with my own paintings, and using painting to reflect the relationship between man and nature.
Detail: This is your foot and mine.
It's human feet.
The most striking thing about my "Putting the Cart" with my "Putting the Cart" is the feet, which occupy the whole picture. As if aliens had invaded the earth, standing on top of the mountains and rivers, this is the true portrayal of the current relationship between man and nature. When we human footprints are all over the earth, the living space of other creatures becomes smaller, and species are disappearing every day. In an era where we only sweep the snow in front of our own door and only satisfy our own material desires, we have thrown more burdens on the earth.
Have people ever thought that standing on Earth, anything you throw out will eventually come back to you. Littering destroys the soil, and we have forgotten that our physical body is also made of soil, and that all our bodily energy is based on soil. Seeds broke through the soil, vegetables were born, animals ate plants, and meat was eaten. Nowadays, many children only know that their food comes from the supermarket, and what a terrible education. No matter how much knowledge we learn, we don't know the original ** of food, and our hearts will always be wandering orphans.
Detail: The reflection of the sun in the lake.
It's not the sun itself, but it can lead you to true sunshine and warmth.
The global warming glaciers are melting, and it feels as if they are far away from us, and when we buy an ice cream in the supermarket and put it in our mouths to enjoy the pleasure of slowly melting, the glaciers are slowly melting. This is not an exaggeration, this is people's perception, I drew a red sun in the lake, that is, people can't see the real nature in life.
Because you have never looked up at the starry sky at night, in that deep universe, you will see the source of our entire human race, the entire life on earth. When you gaze at the whole void, it can surely tell you the answer, and we feel that it is a waste of time because it does not produce material value. This is putting the cart before the horse, we only know the material self on the surface, but when you ask yourself who they are, most people answer by their names. As everyone knows, the name is just a code name, it is not you, when it is added together with your ID card, it just represents the existence of your person, who is the real you?
When we were born on this planet, we were responsible for it, and we came naked and left empty-handed. We can't take away a pile of garbage left behind, our life must be failing, and the life process is just taking.
Partial: starry sky, snow-capped mountains, lakes, meadows, void.
The community of life.
Only by elevating our thinking will we be freed from our one-sided thinking, and you will see the relationship between the sunshine, mountains and rivers and us, and we are the community of life. We have never been separated, the breath you exhale interacts with the plants, and the good thoughts you send out will surely echo for you.
When we love life itself and know that all life on earth is composed of the four elements, earth, water, fire, and wind, you will not separate yourself. Instead of standing on a snowy mountain and telling the world that you are king, you will find that we are just an animal standing on the edge of the mountaintop. You stand on the Himalayas and look up, and the bar-headed geese fly over your head, and they will laugh at your arrogance because they are the highest flying birds in the world. This planet is not yours alone, nor is it up to you, it is the common home of all life.
