WORKS ELABORATION:
The work "The Second Impact" simulates the body with the "plastic" object as the main body, and presents the relationship between the deformation and even puncture of the balloon individual caused by external pressure on the canvas.
When creating images, I present new visual forms by manipulating and utilizing image data. People face all kinds of pressures in society, and with them the anxiety and tension brought about by pressure, I also want to use this group of works to express the way we grow up as adults, struggling to resist when we leave adolescence and enter society to face pressure and anxiety that we have never had before. When there is pressure, we often feel uneasy walking on the tip of the knife, and after the pressure, the heart is calm for a long time.
TUTOR COMMENT:
Liu Shiqi's work "The Second Impact" presents the momentary perception of the full balloon about to be punctured, as a way to explore the tipping point of the course of the event. The picture through the software technology of the image data processing and interference, and the formation of "fault art" visual effects, the original image is torn, or occupied by another image, seemingly accidental error of the form and image noise, cutting the original bland direct image, so that the picture produces overlapping, confused and rhythmic variables.
The surface of the balloon has a similar elasticity and texture to the body skin, in the visual logic of the "fault" image, people produce a neural synaesthesia of visual perception, the picture solidifies the moment when the sphere is squeezed and broken, metaphorically the pressure, anxiety and uneasiness that people face, which is the inexplicable influence of vision on perception.
