劉欣然的作品試圖捕捉那些瞬間浮現,卻未經整理的思緒和記憶。她不選擇透過理性的語言來表達這些時刻,而是以直覺的方式轉譯,如同在畫面上隨機散落的點。繪畫過程與書寫和素描的動作密切相關,微妙的痕跡讓藝術家能夠在重現情感時保持其光彩不減。這些稍縱即逝的存在,編織出一個短暫的思緒網絡,像其與家人朋友相處的時光,微光低語著並逐漸消逝。
 
Xinran Liu was born in China in 1998. She holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2020 and earned her MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in 2023. Currently, she lives and works in London, UK.
 
Liu's work endeavors to capture the unfiltered thoughts and memories that surface in an instant. Rather than conveying these moments through rational language, she intuitively translates them, much like dots scattered randomly across a canvas. This painting process is intricately linked to the acts of writing and sketching. The subtle marks enable Xinran to preserve the emotion while recreating it on the surface, ensuring it retains its luster. These fleeting entities weave together a transient web of thoughts, reminiscent of the time Xinran spent with family and friends that whisper and fade away.
