Xu Ruotao used the computers to smear the photos with concrete images in a crazy and unrestrained manner, and then transferred the ‘modified images’ to the canvas, this process of treatment is completely irregular, ‘blank places filled with colors’, ‘is it a psychological game or a demonstration of techniques?’ (Xu Ruotao’s words), the original image in the memory has been completely modified and transferred, which is more real?
