严智龙近作简评 | 李旭：存在的维度

After AI technology gradually penetrates into the feld of visual art creation,the signifcance and value of handmade painting are facing unprecedented challenges and doubts.Although the current AI technology platforms can vividly imitate various existingart styles,the highly personalized ideas, observationperspectives,and emotional expressions of artists are still irreplaceable.The delicate and rich texture of handmade original painting works are also beyond the reach of printing equipment.In the current era, the authentic aesthetic taste of handmade painting remains an insurmountable gap between avanced carbonbased life and silicon-based artifcial intelligence.In the past two decades, Yan Zhilong has continued to explore the concept of existence in an artistic sense, and then entered a new dimension of organic abstract style exploraticn.This personal style, which lies between Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism，is his continuous effort to reach spiritual freedom, his new discovery on the path of visual exploration, and his wonderful expression of supernatural consciousness after the continuation of three major series for many years.I sincerely look forward to his further transcendence of the existing dimensions of existence.
