作品《等待》之二是继去年的《末班地铁》系列之后创作的，最初也没有明晰的立意，只是内心一种感性的契合，觉得坐在地铁尤其是晚班地铁上的年轻人那种似睡非睡的状态很典型，也很真实，其中包含着些许对现实的疲惫和对理想之地的期待。为此动心而有画意，似乎画中人就是我自己。
创作的过程比较周折，为了实现形与色之间的相互融构，现成的影像素材无论多少总是难以满足具体画面的需要，难以直接使用，最终只有反反复复的调整和尝试。越来越觉得好的造型作品其“造”型的作用和意义。这期间，最初那种模糊的感性逐渐明晰，为后来对画面的主调的把握提供了依据。在作品面貌上我主要是源于个人长期以来形成的一点兴趣，比如降低画面明度和纯度的对比，概括和简化细节等等，同时努力把写实性绘画的一些规律性因素分解出来再努力以趋向平面化的样式呈现。先后几个月，感觉对的地方丝毫未动，感觉不妥之处则反复无数，心情也随着画面的效果起起落落。
总的来说，我的作品重在表达我个人的内心，算是凭心而画，不论题材还是面貌。而说起来不论是现实中还是心理上我始终处在一种人在旅途的状态中，总觉得理想还在前面，转眼十几年过去，我仍旧在途中，而此时的我也渐渐认识到我的这种人在旅途或许就是我的一种人生、一种归宿。

Waiting No. 2
Waiting No. 2 was painted after The Last Subway. Originally, there was no distinct conception, but just a kind of sensibility in the typical and realistic scene, in which young people take the last subway, struggling between waking and sleeping, exhausted by reality but still dreaming of a better future. I was touched by the scene and the images in the painting seemed to reflect myself. There were many setbacks in the process of painting. Images and materials at hand could not meet the demand of the painting, so I had to repeatedly adjust and try, to blend shape and color. Gradually, I became aware of the function and meaning of “creating” in a fine formative work. In that period, the vague sensibility became distinct, and later supported the tone of the painting. The feature of the painting derived from my long-existing interest, such as reducing the contrast between lightness and purity, generalization and simplifying details. I also endeavored to resolve the disciplinary elements of realistic painting and present it in a complanate form. During those months when I experienced much ups and downs with the painting, I never changed any part that I felt was “right”, but revised “wrong” parts numerous times.
By and large, my painting focused on the expression of my innermost being, one painted upon my soul, both in subject and feature. And I am always in the long journey in reality and from psychological aspect, expecting dreams ahead. It remains the same for over ten years, and gradually I realize it is life or destiny for me to be in the journey.
