These paintings are derived from animation work “Mythological Time” (2016), composed of Chinese classical painting (ink and acrylic) on traditional bark paper. The work explored the artist’s hometown- Fuxin, which was located in northeastern of China and particularly for coal industry. It narrates how an industrial city used to be incomparably important in Northeast China, but now on its wane to be forgotten. The featured legendary of folk customs, the alteration of political beliefs, and the historical changes are glimpsed.
