Hairy-Legs in quarantine — meng donglai 孟东来

_{In 2020, I seldom go out because of the pandemic. The isolation experience has ensured my physical health but at the same time, it has had a great impact on my mental part. So I started to observe and record the fantasies in my mind. Some unconscious images appeared in my head, sometimes they were narrative, and sometimes they were just fragments.

Under isolation, people reduce their social interactions and have more time than before to get close to and feel their inner activities of themselves. In my opinion, being alone is a process of constantly approaching the subconscious.
In addition to human beings, rabbit heads often appear in my paintings. For me, rabbits have a multi-faceted image, and each of its impressions has a kind of opposition and contradiction. Just like our complex subconscious world, there are countless fantasies in it, and they are a kind of private experience that cannot be described with language.

In this series, I didn't use any painting skills, nor did I make complicated drafts in advance. Instead, I hope that those images can appear unconsciously so that the emotions contained in them can be truly recorded.

在2020年，由于疫情，我很少外出。孤立的经历确保了我的身体健康，但与此同时，它对我的心理部分产生了巨大的影响。因此，我开始观察并记录我心中的幻想。一些无意识的图像出现在我的脑海中，有时它们是叙事性的，有时它们只是碎片。

在孤立中，人们减少了社交互动，比以往更有时间接近和感受自己内在的活动。在我看来，独处是一个不断接近潜意识的过程。
除了人类，兔子头经常出现在我的画作中。对我来说，兔子具有多面的形象，每一个印象都有一种对立和矛盾。就像我们复杂的潜意识世界一样，其中有无数的幻想，它们是一种用语言无法描述的私人经历。

在这个系列中，我没有使用任何绘画技巧，也没有提前制作复杂的草图。相反，我希望那些图像能够无意识地出现，以便其中包含的情感能够真实地被记录下来。}
