A Study Of Li Xiaoxuan’s Ink Figure Painting From The Perspective Of Freud’s "Subconscious"

The theory of the subconscious is the most important part of Freud’s psychoanalytic theory.On the basis of the theory of the subconscious,Freud proposed the theory of personality structure,the analysis of dreams and the Oedipus complex,which is an extension of his ideas in art.Studying Li Xiaoxuan’s ink figure paintings from the perspective of subconscious is a deep inquiry into his psychological atmosphere and provides a new research idea.Li Xiaoxuan is a representative painter of modern urban ink painting,and his words are full of absurdity and humor.In addition to the painter’s personal subjective consciousness,what influences the style of his works is the result of the silent guidance of his subconscious mind in the depths of his psyche.The role of the subconscious in artistic creation takes various forms.First of all,the subconscious exists in creative inspiration.When the environment and personal experience put his mind in a state of repression,the subconscious comes into play,the repression is lifted and sublimated,and inspiration is thus revealed.Secondly,the subconscious mind also influences the choice of subject matter.This influence comes from Li Xiaoxuan’s subconscious desire,traumatic experience and Oedipus complex.This can be seen in Li Xioauxan’s "Family","City","’Big Woman’ and ’Little Man ’" and "Garden of Eden".Finally,the subconscious also influences Li Xiaoxuan’s artistic expression.Li Xiaoxuan’s subconscious work is also influenced differently in different stages of her life,which is reflected in two aspects: the realistic character modeling and the realistic mental image.
