肖旭琳的创作关心信息膨胀年代的图像特质、内容表达、以至意义。我们每天走在街上、坐在计算机、电视屏幕前，有过千万的图像在我们视网膜划过，留下了支离破碎的记忆。它们有些被肖旭琳移花接木、移情换景，有些又被他编成一对并置出现，这种强迫性的关联编造不但消解了图像本身的意义，而假叙事之间又勾引另一种出光陆怪离的趣味，这就是肖旭琳绘画的思考特质 – 对当下生活的敏锐反应，这种特质正好向观众提供中国新生代艺术家的另一面思考。
Xiao Xulin was born in Hunan, China in 1979. Graduating from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute with a major in oil painting, Xiao currently lives in Kunming and Beijing, and works as a professor assistant of oil painting studio in the Faculty of Fine Arts in Yunnan Normal University. Xiao’s creation concentrates mainly on painting and experimental movies. In 2006, Xiao has directed an independent movie “Lemon”. In 2007, Xiao started his new series of oil paintings “O2”and the experimental video project “I have something to tell you”.
Major exhibitions include: 2006 “The orange contemporary art exhibition” ALAB Loft, Kumming, 2005 “Jiang Hu - Moving images”, 2005 “Yunnan Multi Culture Visual Festival”, 2004 “Jiang Hu – experimental art exhibition”, 2003 “Chinese Element”, Exhibition of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute.
Xiao’s creation concerns the character of the image, expression of the context, as well as the meaning of messages in the era of overwhelming information. Everyday, whenever we walk on the street, sit in front of the computer and television monitors, there are over millions of images passing through our eyes, leaving fragmented memory in our mind. War/ traffic accident/ president Mao/ Cecilia Cheung Pak-Chi/ monkey king/ prostitute/ cock combat/ dog combat/ three flies …… boring / social/ political/ entertaining/ pornographic…….it is true/ fake/ suspected……The fragments are all captured in the circles of Xiao’s canvas. Original pictures are partly replaced with other images; some of the backgrounds are changed into other scene; some images are put into juxtaposition. This kind of fabricated association not only dispels the meaning of the images, it also arouses the extraordinary interest within themselves. This is the characteristics of Xiao’s thinking in his creation – this is the sensitivity to daily life. Such characteristic provides a different aspect of understanding the Chinese young artists in the new generation.
