“LANDSCAPE” series is an unvarnished depiction of scenes from an online multiplayer game Survival of the Jedi.
The idea of this series stems from my obsession with games. In Survival of the Jedi, 100 players parachute into a map, land on the ground, search for battle supplies, and kill each other, the last survivor wins. During the battle, the security area shrinks and you have to keep moving to the next destination. One needs to carefully observe and analyze the terrain in the game in order to search for enemies and apply their own tactics during the movement.
The composite scenery in the game map became more and more familiar to me, which provokes my inner passion to trace it. I thought: do we have such a detailed and clear impression of the landscape in real world? Landscape painting, as a long-born form of art, whose object in nowadays context, is the Lushan Waterfall, Guilin landscape, Suzhou gardens, or the mountains and rivers in the virtual world?
