Shi YanliangTalking about:
My pursuit of pictorial flatness, pure visibility, makes color and shape the protagonists of my work.Such a picture brings to the fore the problem of visual modernity. The use of pure color in the picture makes the color not only serve the shape or three-dimensional space, but also achieves a relatively independent sense of self-existence; and the plane presented by the picture The sense also makes the shapes clearer, which is a result of restoring the painting to the canvas.Consciously exploring the independent and interdependent value of color and shape.

Investor and senior contemporary art collector Liu Tong has collected a large number of important works by young artists., he said:
I first met Shi Yanliang in 2012 when I saw a joint exhibition between Shi Yanliang and another artist Xu Haidong at Century Hanmo Gallery. At that time, I didn’t know anything about contemporary art, so I bought it because I liked it."No one can be left behind",The painting and the name of the work made me feel the artist's expectations for a better society for economic development and people's common development. The values are very positive. This work has great positive energy and makes me continue to work hard.

Throughout the years of artistic creation, artists have continued to grow and change.Liu TongTalking about:
Shi Yanliang's painting style has changed in recent years. I subjectively think that this reflects his thinking, confusion, exploration, self-criticism, and innovation; but what remains unchanged is his thinking about society, the reconstruction of the painting itself, and his vision of a beautiful world. Shi Yanliang and I transcend the relationship between a collector and an artist, and I deeply look forward to more good works created by Teacher Shi.
