If we say, the figurative painting in general is just like the objective reflection of the outside World in a plane mirror. Yuan Yuan’s works are just as a prism, while express the objective realities, he explores the spiritual essence the objects and the artists’ inner state in the conceptual level, which makes his works a comprehensive creation including painting, installation and behavioral process and reflects the rich information and energy.

Yuan Yuan’s new works "Prism" Series reveal the very obvious characteristics of "prism", which derives the cultural implications from multiple dimensions. Firstly, he transfer prints the male and female nudes with various postures on the stainless steel mirror. Every nude is painted specifically and accurately, but their faces are ambiguous and their identities are not able to identified, the spotted brushstrokes and the flaking colors endow the nudes with a state of fibration, which also becomes a kind of spiritual existence. The pure mirror surface abstracts the specific space, the nudes rubbed on the mirror seem floating in an unknown space and time, like a frozen moment of an unspeakable mood and state. In his giant canvas painting of the same series, these nudes appear respectively in the natural space with the imageries of clouds, abyss, nebula. “Like the Genesis scene at the beginning of the universe, also like the vision of the doomsday. The naked men and women seem to be controlled by some unknown power, suspending, floating, and falling in the boundless space, looking small and helpless. This seemingly impossible logic relationship creates a dream-like landscapes and draw an extramundane fantasy, but closely related to the real life. The weightless human body symbolize the inner confusion,mapping some kind of life and mental state in he big data era of "cloud" ,revealing a transcendental reality.

on the oil painting art, and its ubiquitous intervention.

Yuan Yuan‘s art at this stage is the results of his exploration and thinking of many different things, which enriches our recognition and understanding on the trend of the contemporary painting. He started from the figurative painting, but has transcended its original category.These works has not abandoned the ontology of the painting, his outstanding painting feeling plays an important role in the effect of the materials and the scene construction, while he obtains more abundant feeling from the experience beyond the planar painting. Obviously, Yuan Yuan will continue to be engaged in painting, but he will bring the language feeling of the material, installation and space into it, his variety of trials, scattering and integration also are a kind of prism, is the mutual reflection of his feelings and experiences, with the chromatic dispersion of the meaningful images,mapping out the artistic exploration and cultural choices of younger oil painters when they entered into the "image age", "media era" and the time of contemporary art of today.
