Medal presentation
In recent years, Gu Liming's artistic language experiments have been focusing on the theme of "construction of local modern discourse".
His series of works such as "The God of Door", "Mawangdui Han Tombs", "Dunhuang" and "Ode to Landscape" are the continuation and interpretation of history with a visual language.
Gu Liming makes an imperceptible synthesis of traditional image modeling with western abstract modeling: the synthesis of the abstract and the concrete, the synthesis of expression and freehand brushwork.
Exploring the contemporary transformation of traditional cultural resources has become a mainstream value orientation and creative methodology of Chinese contemporary art. In this field, Gu Liming is not only the earliest explorer, but also has scored extraordinary achievements.
Over the years, he has devoted himself to the contemporary transformation of folk New Year pictures, Dunhuang frescoes and traditional landscape art patterns with profound scholarship and a great sense of commitment, constructing an abstract expressive painting form with a distinctive personal style.
