Lv Zhe’s latest series of “Field Landscape” paintings further explores the relationship between real-world experience and spiritual structures. Through highly artificial spatial compositions, these works juxtapose ordered geometric architectural structures with the subconscious, murky surface of a lake, creating a heterotopia reminiscent of a stage set. For example, in “Landscape of Hell Lake,” the symmetrical perspective composition uses a golden passageway leading into the depths as a guiding light for the spiritual dimension. The tranquil waters harbor repressed emotional energy, while the misty purple structures, like a symbol of life in flux, create tension with the distant walls symbolizing memory.

Lv Zhe’s paintings lie between reality and fiction, transforming the relationship between “architecture, people, and environment” into a spiritual landscape. Through metaphorical arrangements of objects, they reinterpret the meaning of “seeing” in the contemporary era. This series of works is not a reproduction of a real landscape, but a visual depiction of the human inner structure.-
