Xu Xiaodong works have strengthened the natural light and restructured the physical and imaginary spaces, making the paintings form a certain distance and confusion with reality; similarly, the process of restructuring the artistic language is that of purifying spirits, the real objects are reborn in the works of Xu Xiaodong, quiet and real. While Lin Mao's works have removed the bright lights and colors, full of poetic atmosphere and mood, even in paining the western scene of Alfred Sisley town, Chinese descriptions are involved to express the change paces of all things in nature with the most concise composition and brushwork. The process of purifying languages make the images and emotions reach a high degree of unity, filled with balanced, pure and quiet spiritual experience.

Xu Xiaodong and Lin Mao are such artists to seek answers from nature. They have abandoned the perceptions and trends, making direct dialogues with nature in their artistic languages to insight the reality of life and the beauty of arts from nature, thus constituting ways of artistic presentation inspired by nature.
