French critic Stéphanie: Fantasy in the paintings of artist Guligo

Feminine, feminism and fantasy all start with F, but these concepts are not very consistent. "Fantastic" is usually associated with male writers and artists. Women's works focus on eternal issues and use traditional concepts, myths, folktales, or other traditional knowledge to create new ways of dialogue.

Although they provide literature and visual arts with different themes, locations, characters, etc., the understanding of the works lies with the readers, even if the works have been handled by the author and painter. Critic Lauter Otricker specifically calls this approach myth-making using terminology.

Androids believes that works that express sex and power in different forms have three aspects: one is the reappearance of the body, such as transforming a mortal body into a superman, animal or inanimate object; the other is the use of disguised themes or messages, Such as fables; the third is to display and develop "twins" or similar individuals... These forms of painting have been verified in the works of surreal female artists.

Guliguo's works are described in terms of content and thematic expression, and for female artists, power is a fundamental theme regardless of medium, technique or content. .

Frida Kahlo began painting in 1925 while recovering from a near-fatal bus accident that destroyed her body and marked the beginning of a life of physical torture.

Over the next 30 years she produced a relatively small but consistently engaging body of work. In meticulously crafted paintings, Frida Kahlo expressed herself again and again, exploring, questioning and revealing her self and identity. She also frequently evokes disturbing events in her life, including her ongoing battle with physical pain and the emotional pain caused by her tumultuous relationship with her husband.

However, Frida Kahlo’s dual image is dominated by contrast, which not only embodies the cosmic power of women as goddesses, but also subtly reveals women’s pursuit of freedom in real life, which is in line with Guliguo’s sense of peace of mind. Very different.

From a social critical perspective, most men seek strength, that is, power, in the form of speech. Women, on the other hand, possess great inner strength on a spiritual level through inner change and self-renewal, through the alchemical process of managing inner desires.

These are two completely different ways of gaining power. As Battier said, female artists empower themselves to inject this profound and unpredictable inner spiritual power into their works and let the works "speak" for her.

Looking at Guliguo's paintings from a psychological perspective, she seems to be a very emotional person who is always looking for love. She probably has many admirers. In recent years, the study of sexual desire has become increasingly important in the field of gender studies, attracting the attention of many feminist researchers. The word "sex" used to describe physical characteristics is not synonymous with "sexual desire."

Using the perspective of psychological analysis, we can understand subconscious desires, but by focusing on gender issues, we can explore these issues of desire and sexual expression in a more open way.

This is no longer a question of right and wrong, normal and abnormal, but an exploration of sexual and psychological taboos and a challenge to traditional gender norms.

In Guliguo's private sphere, these norms are often considered to be unchanging. She uses desire and body movement to challenge gender conventions, and the courage it takes to face her creations is admirable.

Guliguo's work also reveals the complexity of human relationships. Through her visual representations, she explores how individuals interact with each other, especially within the context of gendered power relations. She highlights the dynamics of dominance and submission, as well as the social control mechanisms that influence our gendered behaviors and expectations.

Furthermore, Guliguo reminds us of the importance of individual liberation.The characters in her work, often placed in compelling situations, embody the struggle for autonomy and personal freedom. They also represent the search for inner identity and authenticity, highlighting the importance of self-understanding and freedom from social constraints as key elements of personal growth.

Finally, Guliguo’s work invites us to think about the concepts of diversity and inclusion. She celebrates the diversity of human experience, gender identity, and gender expression. She reminds us that society becomes richer and deeper when we recognize and respect the diversity of its members. Acceptance of differences is a pillar of understanding and social harmony.

The whole paradox, as Foucault or Butler often described it, consists in the transformation of the body being repurposed under the ideals of integrity and consistency. Guligo counters this process precisely by displacing the intended effect; through the use of mimesis, referencing feminine standards to recall its cultural roots, she turns the body into a narrative, a fictional spatial work that can transform the premises of human politics.

Here, any fusion presupposes a blind spot that is irreducible to a politics of fusion, an opaque surplus that emerges through the display of invisible, naked bodies in reality.

If Guliguo's paintings are so sensual, it is worth pointing out an ambivalent mode of subjectivity:

The process of transforming female identity opens up an infinitely open range of physical characteristics, implying the denaturalization of the body and a a dematerialization that questions the assumptions and decisions behind its potential but does not seek to overcome any truth.

La fantaisie picturale de Guliguo

Stéphanie

Le féminin, féministe et fantastique sont tous des mots commençant par la lettre F, mais ils représentent des concepts assez différents. Fantastique est généralement associé à des auteurs et artistes masculins. Les œuvres féminines It’s a question that’s asking questions in terms of concepts, traditions, myths, populaires, connoisseurs, traditions, nouveaux dialogues. , Leur compréhension résidence dans le lecteur, même si les œuvres ont été traitsées à l auteur ou l artiste. Lecture Lauter Ostricker qualifie spécifiquement cette approche de mythopoïèse utilisant une terminologie .

Selon Andres, œuvres qui représentent le sexe et le pouvoir sous différentes The main dimensions of the trois: premièrement, reproduction of the corps, transformation of the corps, surhomme, animal and object. , the most beautiful thing in the world. amental pour les Femmes artiste, quelque soit le support, la technique ou le contenu.

Frida Kahlo a commencé à peindre en 1925, alors quelle se remettait unaccident de bus presque fatal qui a détruit son corps et marqué le début une vie de souffrance Physique. Au cours des trent années suivantes, elle produira un ensembled œuvres relativement restreint, mais constant et fascinant. Dans des peintures élaborées, Kahlo se représente encore et encore tout en explorant, questionnant et affichant son moi et son identité. Elle évoque aussi The beauty of the troublant, the beauty of the lutte, the beauty of the douleur, the beauty of the douleur, the relationship between the mother-in-law, mari.

cependant, the double-images of Frida Kahlo, the principal contrast, the beauty of the beauty, the beauty of the beauty. Déesses, mais révélant subtilement la liberté des femmes dans la vie réelle, ce qui est très différent du sentiment de tranquillé d esprit de Guliguo.

D unpointed sociocritique, la plupart des hommes recherchent la force, cest-à- Dire pouvoir, sous forme de déclarations. Les femmes, en revanche, ont une grande force intérieure au niveau spirituel grâce au changement intérieur et au renouvellement de soi, à travers un processus alchimique de gestion de leurs désirs intérieurs. Il s agit de deux The difference between manières and differences. La femme artiste, comme le dit Bataille, se donne, injecte dans son œuvre cette profonde et inexplicable force spirituelle intérieure, et laisse l œuvre parler pour elle.

D unpointed de vue psychologique, Guliguo semble être It makes people sensible and amours. It’s possible to understand the admiration of nombreux. It’s the most important thing. It’s the most important thing. It’s the most important thing. Attention. Nombreuses chercheuses men. Abnormal questions and expressions of sexuelle and mania plus ouverte. Il ne s agit plus de bien ou de mal, de normalité ou d anormalité, mais d explorer les aspects de la psychologie sexuelle, en remembrance en question les normes de Genre traditions are souvenirs and considérées are immutable in Guliguo. It’s a relationship. It’s a relationship. It’s a relationship. It’s a relationship. It’s a relationship. It’s a manière. It’s a relationship, it’s a relationship, it’s a particulier. It’s a relationship. It’s a relationship. It’s a relationship. The influence of social influencers is no longer compromising.

De plus, Guliguo nous rappelle and importance of individuelle. . Illuminating the situation in the public domain, it’s easy to understand, it’s the right thing to do, it’s the right thing to do, it’s all about socializing, it’s socializing, it’s accomodating personnel. The concept of diversification and inclusion. , and the acceptance of différences and the impact of compromising and harmonious society.

Selon la manière souventure and foucault ou Butler, toute la contradiction résidence dans le fait que la transformation corporelle and réappropriate sous l idéal d intégrité et de cohérence . The best process in the process, in the process of becoming the most effective person; in utilitarian ways, in order to improve the quality of the environment, to improve the quality of the culture, to improve the quality of the culture, to improve the quality of the corps, to improve the quality of spatial modifiers. politiques de l'humanité. The company’s dimensions are invisible and obscuring. It’s a modern, modern and modern subject: a transformation that transforms itself into a caracteric object. The original name of Guliguo was Li Wei, born in 1999. in Chengdu, China .

has published more than ten novels such as "Warm Fang" and "Human Joy". Among them, the realist masterpiece "Warm Fang" about "rebuilding a family" is being adapted for film and television.

Guliguo is good at integrating a strong expressionist style with a realistic aesthetic form using the unique perspective and sensibility of women. At the level of artistic language, he constantly explores the boundaries of creation, violently collides his inner monologue in the spiritual world with material desires in the real world, and brings readers multiple imaginations, thinking and aesthetic experiences.
