“Marine Fisheries and Consumerists”
Siqi Song
2025, 135 x 85 cm, oil on canvas The artificial swimming pool-like mosaic seabed seems to have turned the entire ocean into a dining table, available for humans to pick from and enjoy eating at will. In the painting, humans are divided into two groups: diners sitting at the table enjoying seafood and free-diving fishermen collecting and catching fish underwater. Through this common consumption-supply relationship, the essence that there is no consuming no killing. The work exposes the situation that humans are accustomed to exploiting natural resources and arbitrarily transforming natural systems. Visually, the artist focuses on creating a liquid and flowing visual effect. By adjusting the brushstrokes, the shapes of the graphics, and the dryness and wetness of the brush, and optimizing the technique of water and oil separation when painting with acrylic, a natural liquid-like feeling is presented.
