All the figures on XUE Song's paintings are presented by tons of fragments. Every single piece carries an individual image whose information nevertheless remains incomplete. Details, as they constitute the overall picture, overthrow its integrity and similarly, information as it builds up also deconstructs the image. Born in the generation of 1960s, XUE basically inherits the culture features of that time, say, appropriate humour, constructiveness, vivid memory and idealization of comments on history and politics, as well as introspection and so forth. The themes selected by the artist usually cover both classical images from landscape and political pop. Since 2005, he commenced a new series that portrayed the development of city and people living in it. Running is precisely a piece produced around that period.
