ARTIST STATEMENT
GuYi
My work explores the complex relationship between humans and animals, recreating new species. My work is all about human-animal hybrids, capturing the details of human-animal bonding, challenging the dominance of humans in society, and blurring the lines between humans and animals. My paintings draw on a variety of living animals, prompting humans to re-evaluate their relationship with animals and their identity. I deliberately use the creative possibilities of painting to provide the viewer with a powerful reflection.
By exploring the connection between humans and animals in more subtle ways, I aim to create a more realistic look. This approach aims to break the viewer's disbelief in the picture, stimulate synesthetic engagement of the senses, and deepen the viewer's reflection on the intricate relationship with animals in their lives. Through the integration of different forms, this series of works explores the fear brought by the animalization of human beings, and solves the boundary of excessive distinction between human beings and animals in daily life. My art aims to integrate the subject matter of the problem, capture the surprise brought by deconstruction and reorganization from different perspectives, and deeply reflect on our identity and the relationship between animals.
