Luan Xiaochen has always had a keen interest in the history of marine art, growing up alongside the ocean, where the ebb and flow of tides became a part of his life. The two works exhibited this time, "Message" and "Gravity Wave 03," are both creations based on the theme of waves. He relates the natural wonders recorded during his trip to Portugal to physical concepts, correlating gravity with the flow of liquids in images and paintings. He sees water as a liquid, its physical aspect influenced by gravity. In contrast to the past, where he believed that each era had its firm concepts of nature and corresponding relationships: from fear, worship, conquest to symbiosis. From a view of nature that ranged from divine to anthropocentric. The difference in concepts and understanding determines the art of different eras, driving painters of different eras to choose their modes of work. Luan Xiaochen believes that he grew up in an era where imagination about the future burst forth based on technology, and humanity's plans for interstellar exploration are entering implementation.

Under this framework, he understands waves as the physical aspect of flowing liquid. While people often talk about the intangibility of water, when he stood in Portugal and witnessed the world's largest waves at Nazaré, and acquired detailed images of the waves' rise and fall in a near-dangerous manner, he observed the ebb and flow of the waves, the patterns and dots running in near-perfect digital trajectories. He keenly felt the result of tides as a consequence of gravitational forces between celestial bodies and the centrifugal force of the Earth's rotation. The intricate patterns, once subtle in the ripples, became deeply captivating elements under the close-up shots and the immense volume of the waves. He believed these patterns had a dangerous allure, forming spots of light resembling the tongue of deep-sea fish, emerging from the surging waves like tongues from a giant mouth. He spent a lot of time searching for these patterns, using different materials and tools, layer after layer. "I enjoy it; they are free yet arranged according to strict physical laws. They are creations within the realms of nature and art. When dynamic waves, as frozen images, exhibit subtle movements within the stillness, it is the result of the interaction between painting materials, observation, light, and images.
