本来，唯美追求源自对形式的看重，强调绘画自律，立足于本体论和形式主义。但这种精英化的审美追求，因其对“美即和谐”的特殊偏好，自然和传统美学趣味相通，逐渐为大众文化、商业文化所利用，成为广告图像和市场消费的主要对象。唯美主义和消费文化于当代合而为一，是值得关注的。
王念东的想法正好相反，他不仅不去对抗大众消费对于唯美的嗜好，反而把唯美倾向的女性形象推向极端，使之变得矫饰。
经过若干极致化的处理，王念东在唯美表达中取得有意为之的矫饰效果，并在有意为之的矫饰效果中达到物极必反的异样性。这是对于异化的彰显，在虚假性的消费文化中揭示出消费文化的虚假性。这种从极端化到异质性的变异，表现在女性形象中，则是真实与虚幻、诱惑与回避的心理矛盾。正是由于深度的潜意识欲望和公共的性消费对象所构成的反差，取消了生活的真实性，也取消了欲望的真实性，使图像化的文化消费变得与人的真实存在毫无关系，从而成为虚拟的符号化生存方式。从这个意义上讲，恰恰是王念东的男性眼光能够穿透生活表象，在心理内省中，触及到个人隐私亦即时代的秘密。

Originally, locating on ontology and formalism, aestheticism comes from care for the form, and stresses the self-discipline in drawing. However, the elite pursuit for aestheticism is gradually exploited by the populace and commercial culture, becoming the major target for the advertising images and market consumptions, thanks to its special interest in “beauty is harmony” and based on the common interest of nature and traditional aesthetics. In contemporary times, the aestheticism and consumption culture is notably incorporated into each other.
Wang Niandong holds different ideas. Instead of opposing the aesthetic preferences shown among the populace, he has pushed the aesthetic female images to the extremes, delivering them into affected images.
Through diversified treatments that go extreme, Wang Niandong has realized effects in the aesthetic expressions, and the heterogeneity in the affected effects. He aims to highlight the heterogeneity and reveal the sophistry in the consumption culture through the fake consumption culture. The changes from the extremity to heterogeneity, when displayed in the female images, are their psychological contradictions between the truth and the unreal, between the seductions and the avoidance. The contrast between the strong subconscious desire and the public target for sex consumption has removed the truth of life and truth of desires, to the extent that the imaged cultural consumption has no relation with the physical existence of the human being, but turning into the virtual symbolized way for existence. From this point, Wang Niandong sees from a man’s perspective through life’s presentations and touches the individual secrets, the secrets of the time, in the psychological reflections.
