Q：华庆老师您好，您曾经谈到过创作元素：猩猩，是源于一个女生？

H：大概十年以前，我想找到“元素”来表现我自己的想法。当然，我还是想表现人，但又不想直接画人。比如说画人体，或者说画一些人在场景前面等。我都觉得它对我来说比较简单了。起因算是我那时候迷恋一个女孩：她叫小猴，她也属猴。我认为在某种程度上，她还是给了我灵感。有一天，我坐在电脑前边冥想，突然有一个场景出现在我的脑海里：一边是一个外星人的形象，外星人对面是红色的小猴。我想外星人可能是我，我就把它画成了草图。画出来以后我就觉得非常有意思。从那时候开始，一发不可收拾就一直画这个猴子。

2007年我回到北京，起初创作的是小猴子，后来慢慢变成猩猩，这个形象也就慢慢脱离了早期它的形象，这也是其自己在发展。

H: About ten years ago, I wanted to find an image to communicate my thoughts. I certainly wanted to represent a person in my work but didn't want to draw people directly. For example, drawing the human body, or drawing some scenes where people appear, I thought it was simpler for me. The reason was that there was a girl I was obsessed with at that time. Her name was Little Monkey. She was also born in the year of the monkey. I considered that she inspired me a lot. One day, I was sitting in front of the computer, in a state of meditation. Suddenly, there is an image, an alien, with a red monkey standing in front of it, coming to my mind. I think the alien might be me and I made a sketch out of it. I felt satisfied after painting it. Since then, I started painting this image often: the situation went slightly out of control.

When I came back to Beijing in 2007, the little monkeys gradually turned into chimpanzees. These figures began to get rid of their original character, and this can be considered a self-development.

Q：此次展览您有展出一个关于爱情的系列——《关于爱情的法则》，能谈一下您的爱情法则吗？

H：关于爱情的法则是我在17年创作的系列作品。我认为爱情应该建立在双方的坦然与真诚基础上。

正如我写在作品上的文字：我们都是无生命的机械体。只有有了爱情建立了亲密关系，才是有生命，才会被赋予生命。而建立亲密关系的途径则是得到打开对方的心扉，即了解对方自我，全部精神世界的钥匙。这意味着在对方面前全部开放自己，全部一览无余。这会被双方视为一种危险和冒险，但这是建立亲密关系的唯一途径。

H: The Law of Love is a series of works I created in 2017. I believe that love is based on openness and sincerity from both sides.

As I wrote in my works: we are all inanimate mechanical bodies. Only when a romantic relationship is established, we gain life. The way to develop a close relationship is to open your heart to another person and to understand each other, in order to have access to the spiritual world. This means that you present yourself in front of the other without hiding anything. Both lovers consider this action dangerous and adventurous at the same time, but it is the only way to build an intimate relationship.

H: “只有在两个人的亲密关系中，才能发现真正的自我。而你会发现自我是一个你自己都不认识的怪物。” 爱情让我们有机会抛开表面的浮夸与虚伪，重新认识和发现自我。

H：爱情其实是一场博弈，当然这是一场没有输赢结果的比赛。双方都在努力深入对方的内心世界，去了解对方的想法。我认为：爱情是人一生的功课，学会了与相爱的人相处才算完整，长久的相处，能愉悦，是一种修行。换一种说法，女人是男人的老师、或者学校，从这个学校毕业了，男人才完整和圆满。

For this Chinese Valentine's Day, we wish all the lovers to find their own love rules and have a sweet day.

此次展览将持续至2019年9月15日，欢迎各位莅临欣赏！

The exhibition will run until September 15th 2019, we will be pleased to see you in our gallery!
