Solid Earth

Cen Long's Oeuvre S1 EP8 Solid Earth


"The hard land is mainly intended to depict a sense of strength, portraying the scene where humans and nature struggle for survival. This is actually a method I consistently use, symbolizing the insignificance of human power in the face of nature. Despite this, generation after generation continues to fight against nature. I intentionally painted a flat, hard land where a seemingly insignificant person is vigorously digging the soil. In fact, it's a contrast of power; the hard land accentuates the strength of the person. What I want to express is their intensity and the power of challenging nature. I aim to convey this fundamental spirit rather than national spirit."
