Introduction
Li Jianyi's "The Monkey Family" showcases a strong psychological expressionism technique. The artist employs superb oil painting skills and skillfully uses light and shadow to create a deep and heavy emotional atmosphere. In the painting, the monkeys display different expressions, their gazes revealing unease and anxiety towards the reality of the world. Although they are animal figures, they allude to the confusion and alienation within human society. The overall subdued color scheme of deep blue and brown further emphasizes the melancholy and introspection of the painting, highlighting the artist's profound reflection on human nature through the fable of animals.
