Yanchao did not come to Henan for a long time, his eyes under myopic lenses seemed to shine wisely all the time. I met Yanchao under the introduction of my friend and slowly became familiar with him and his works.
Through the Deconstructing and reconstruction of classical images, Yanchao's works construct their own unique language features. There are some elusive metaphors in his works, and I was fascinated the first time I saw the electronic versions of these works. I was so fond and curious about the special temperament in Yanchao's works that as soon as I heard that he had a new work, I urged him to let me have a look at it.
After knowing each other for a long time, the chat between me and brother Yanchao was no longer formal. After a deep chat with brother Yanchao, I found that his knowledge and cognition were very extensive. When I talked with him for a few hours, there was no feeling of tiredness.
Yanchao always creates at home. On several occasions when we ate near his house, he said the house was so messy that he was sorry to show me around. Once Yanchao sent me WeChat, I roughly saw what his home looked like in the video: on the wall, on the table, the ground was full of works and creative tools, a little messy, but I thought it was good. On second thought, creation has filled up all the time outside of his basic working life.
“All things delightful are gratifying enough t please people. If it is not enough to change a people, it would be better book and painting.”Yanchao still adheres to the original heart of artistic creation, and stubbornly moves forward. In such a material society, this stubbornness to self-art has even become the envy of the happiness that many people envy.

展评 Zhang Qibin（Doctor of Fine Arts） 张启彬（美术学博士）
Beuy's behavioral art directly points to two aspects of the development of contemporary art. One is that art no longer depends on objective objects but becomes a tool for tracing the real world, just as after the birth of photography, the reproduction and recording function of artificial image is greatly weakened. On the other hand, the idealization of artistic images is becoming more and more developed, from Marcel Duchamp's Dada concept of <urinal> to Andy Warhol's pop thinking, which provides a new way for the generation of artistic images by subverting and reshaping realistic scenes and images. Like the word "Unfocused" in the photography technology, art creation pulls away from a kind of objective world, which might becomes another dimension of view with its significant. "Unfocused" in reality life with the classic image, the artist Xing Yanchao has discovered new possibilities from his "unfocused" situation, which has embodied the image structure reconstruction and metaphor world construction in his ink painting art.
