The background in Yuan Xiaofang’s works is the static green mountains and waters that are always in the warm orange tones. The artist also shows the mountains and waters’ graceful curve so that we can feel they’re full of tender feeling and very passive. However, the bombers formed by hard straight line and black are quite different, which are moving and dominant, the appearance of the bombers. I totally agree with the critic Lou Yi’s opinion that in Yuan Xiaofang’s Flying Plan, the artist perfectly turned the abstract cultural contradictions into the concrete images, and also wisely expressed the modern people’s subtle and mixed feelings…the bombers’ outer coverings which were guard and cold give us a very strong material feeling and imply a kind of threat and disaster atmosphere. The mountains and waters in paintings are soft like silk and especially striking, which also just form a strong visual contrast with the bomber’s hardness and coldness. We can only see the bombers, the mountains and waters, and cannot see the persons, which let us have a kind of confused feeling and lost.
