点击下载Since Apr 14, 2015, I have been doing finger drawing on the touchscreen of my cellphone and sharing such works via WeChat Moments every day. The “work” soon became my daily routine, since it brings me the happiness and excitement of art creation as well as some time to spend alone despite my daily hustle and bustle. As I do such work with my cellphone, which is essentially a part of my EDC (Every Day Carry), I can be rather adaptable to various work environments, e.g. buses, underground, taxis, cafés, restaurants, classrooms, hospitals, curbsides, my living room, and sometimes the couch in my studio. The routine has been well-maintained even when I was away from home, either for work or trip, as it has become the “visual log” of my life. The themes of those drawings vary from the sketching of common things in life, reminiscence of specific scenarios, peculiar expressions of my instant feelings, and the abstractive imagination of my life.

自2015年4月14日开始,我每天在自己的手机屏幕上用手指画画,完成后就分享在微信朋友圈里。这项“工作”很快成为我生活的一部分,既带给我创作的喜悦与兴奋,也在忙碌之余有了单纯和自己相处的片刻。因为作画的工具就是不离身的手机,所以我能在各种不同的场合画画,公交、地铁或出租车上,咖啡馆或饭店、学校的教室、医院、马路边,还有自己家的客厅......当然,也有很多时候是在我工作室的那张沙发上。即便一段时间因工作或旅行而出门在外,手机绘画也不曾中断,它很自然地成了我的“视觉日志”。绘画的题材有对现场景与物的写生,有对某一刻场景回忆式的默写,还有的,画面看似离奇,其实是我对瞬间感悟的表达,或是对自己生活境遇“游离式”的想象。

Liu Yi’s practice explores the relationships between body and space, spirits and materials, individual and public, presence and absence of culture. The unique style of combining classic figures with contemporary colors, presented in the daily digital drawing on his smartphone, has interpreted not only artist’s curiosity and mythological imagination of life, but also his memories and experiences. The drawings, which seemed like children’s doodling, have shared overwhelming empathy with the audiences since the works reflected vivid life experiences. Meanwhile, Liu Yi has also taken his interest in creating narratives lying between digital media, materiality, and subject. Thus, his artistic practice has taken place in both graphic and spatial ways based on daily life and social scenery.
