此次在“老四行”艺术仓库内举办的李海青个人画展——“鱼样生活”，将全面展出李海青2007年至2009年间的油画作品。鱼是一种语言，“鱼样生活”系列油画作品皆取材于生活，各种颜色鲜艳、形态各异的鱼，不仅给观赏者带来新鲜的视觉感受，更体现了当代年轻画家所特有的艺术表达方式。

　　她把画笔当作自己的记录媒介，用大胆的色彩和灵动的思维，表达自己的奇思妙想、狂念妄图。她对生活有着自己独到的见解和表达方式，不加过多的诠释，留给观赏者更多的读解空间。其绘画语言或质朴或绚丽……无不流溢出一种充满趣味的生命力，这是她特有的艺术思维。

　　她的作品，明媚中带着些许感伤。鱼与女孩在深深潜入互相的世界后，不一样的景却同样的另人心碎……呈现了一个更广阔、多彩的世界，犹如回到母体躲在深深的水底，做着更美妙、奇幻、自由的梦。如她自己所说，这只是一种状态。

　　《八月桂花香》——申城溢满了浓郁的花香，人从旁边走过，都会带上几丝香甜，闭上眼睛，花瓣犹如漂浮在空中，伸手即能触摸，想念着，想领着鱼儿一同去感受这幸福……因为美好，所以盎然；因为想念，所以感伤。”

　　《痕》——玫瑰怒放到几近凋零，画家把玫瑰比喻成了一种感情；人和人之间经历的感情，亦如花心里流出的水珠子，滴在叶子上，再到地上，一条轨迹……或多或少总会留下些许痕。

　　当女孩奋力把头伸进水中想找寻鱼的踪影，惊觉《不见了》。鱼儿它本该在水里，而去水里找它，可是它却不在那里……

　　《垂钓》似乎在告诉着我们，面对纷纷扰扰的现实生活世界，其实我们仍然可以于静默中保留更多的选择和可能……

Life with Fish
“Life with Fish – Haiqing Li Personal Painting Exhibition” features a comprehensive collection of Artist Li’s paintings between 2007 and 2009. Fish, in Li’s perspective, is an artistic language. The entire “Life with Fish” series was inspired by various colorful and distinctively characteristic fish in the real life. Li’s art offers refreshing visual appreciation, and also reflects the unique presentational style of the contemporary young artists.

Li utilizes creative colors and her vibrant ingenuity, to express her boundless and wild mind. Influenced by her unique perspective towards life, she likes to inject little subjective explanation in her art and leaves abundant freedom for audience’ interpretation. The joyful vitality portrayed in Li’s modest and sometimes glamorous works reveals this unique artistic perspective.

In Li’s works, different scenes bring you the kind of infatuation like “a drop of sadness in the sunshine”. The worlds of the girl and the fish glide into each other, bringing you a wider and more colorful realm as if we had returned into the wombs and hid in deep water, dreaming of a fascinating and mysterious wonderland, and dreaming of anything at all that brought joy to our lives. In Li’s words, this is a “state of being”.

August Osmanthus. The osmanthus fragrance fills Shanghai in August. Closing our eyes, it feels as if the petals were floating in the air, within just an arm’s reach. We wish to share the happiness with the fish… For the grace, we delight; for the wishes, we feel sad.

Trace. Rose blossom has passed its peak and starts to fall. The artist symbolizes roses as sentiment. The sentiment between people resembles water droplets from the flowers falling on the leaves and then down onto the ground, leaving an inevitable trace.

Disappear. The girl dips her head into the water and tries to trace the fish, and only find the fish have disappeared. They are supposed to be in the water; however the water has seen them gone.

Fishing seems to tell us, although facing the restless reality, we are still able to enjoy ample choices and possibilities in this serenity.

Haiqing Li (born in 1982) graduated from China Academy of Art in 2006, with a B.A. in printmaking. She is living in Shanghai.

Li’s painting "Gao Lao Tou" won the Excellence Award in the illustration category of the 10th National Exhibition of Fine Arts and is collected by Zhejiang Art Museum.
