Introduction
Li Jianyi's "Altar Variations" presents a strong and mysterious color atmosphere, highlighting the emotions and dynamic expressions of the figures through intense contrasting colors. The divine figure above and the blindfolded, struggling characters below create a stark contrast, symbolizing the societal contradictions and tensions between tradition, morality, and the desire for material pursuits. The red flagpole, the blindfold that obscures vision, and the scene reminiscent of a ritual evoke a profound examination of the viewer's own situation and inner values. This suggests that Li Jianyi seeks to critique the deep-seated implications of contemporary humanity's greed and psychological disorientation through an introspective gaze.
