Introduction
Lü Aifu's "Glimmer Behind the Forest" employs a delicate and restrained oil painting technique to transform the landscape experience of the Lin Hou Four Forest Park, creating a visual realm that exists between perception and poetic imagination. The main color structure of the painting consists of layered shades of green and a blue sky. Although the shapes and lines of the trees are simplified, they still retain a vibrant rhythm and spatial tension, forming a lexicon of lyrical natural landscapes. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and introspective, seemingly guiding the viewer into a serene state that lies between reality and dreams. In the artist's statement, the dialectical relationship between rationality and sensibility is also visually represented in this work: the ordered composition of rationality intertwines with the emotive brushstrokes of color, making the piece not merely a depiction of the landscape but a philosophical gaze into the perception of life and the existence of nature. The glimmer in the painting symbolizes both the transient manifestation of natural light and shadow and a metaphorical light source pointing towards the spiritual dimension of the subject.
