From vague memory to the realistic ground scenery, Li Tiejun continually to question the non-determinacy of image in the frame of painting, using contradictive expression to refuse mannered realism. I think he is an artist who expand his own experiencing field horizontally and also think vertically. Speaking of horizontal and vertical, it is also a choice between east and west, tradition and contemporary. Such kind of choice determines the view and judgment of the artist. We see that Chinese contemporary art which is synchronous with the reforming and opening up could no more provide the beauty making effect. It is only a humanistic realism record in the dramatic change of social situation, a file to prevent amnesia.
从圆明园坎坷走来，或从欧美洗礼归来，今日的中国宋庄不问英雄出处，只是在不断聚积着能量，这里不仅是新时期农村包围城市的根据地，同时也是在时间和空间两条轴线上新一轮美学建构的交叉点，我相信李铁军这位充满激情、能量和智慧的艺术家已经确定了自己的价值抉择。
Either with the frustration in Yuanmingyuan or with the adventure of western world, the Village doesn’t care about where those people are from. Energy gathers continuously here. It is not only a base of “city bounded by countryside” in the new era, but also a new round aesthetic construction junction of time axis and space axis. I believe Li Tiejun, the artist full of energy, power and wisdom, has already determined his choice of value.
