"When I paint I feel, that this experience has come to me before, but from where, I do not know," Li Yongfei says of his intuitive approach to painting. It may be de ja vous that Li Yongfei feels, but what is transmitted through his paintings is a universal energy alluding to hidden truths and timeless philosophy. Li Yongfei works both in the classical Chinese painting style, using ink and water on paper, and in his very own contemporary style, bringing layer upon layer of water, ink, oil and metal. Through his appraoch the paintings acheive timeless visual qualities, expressing the idea that life in the present moments holds infinite familiarity with past. Ideas from the ancient texts of the Dao De Jing inspire Li Yongfei's work immensely, and inform the natural and varied patterns of his brushstokes. Yang Xinguang is a sculptor and performance artist who alters the physical characters of natural objects with the conceptual scheme of returning to the beginning of time, a time with only the earthly essence from which all life comes exists. His work raises to question the relationship between two different worlds, mankind's civilization and the natural world. "Which is stronger, mankind or the earth?" asks Yang Xinguang. In his mind he envisions a place at the beginning of time before man, filled with mountains, trees, stones, streams. Cutting large riverbed stones from roughly into awkward blocks, Yang Xinguang attempts to bring the stone to it's original state, it's condition before time has ground it into smooth roundness. "At birth we are all very unique, and slowly, over time we are shaped by society into common form." Yang Xinguang does not consider his works sculpture, but rather natural materials expressing their inherent qualities.
