The documentary is about a Chinese famous painter, Xiao-dong Liu. Through his documentary, the director recorded the mysterious and incredible process of Liu’s painting, from the empty canvases to abundance in content and form. Every one in Liu’s paintings is a part of the whole, a frozen moment infused with his childhood memories and current existence. He confronts the objects in his painting from an honest, independent and daring point of view. In these moments, he comes out of his personality and penetrates the surface of the painting. He stands grounded in the honed skills of painting, but his individual character is so much a part of his work that we would like to call it penetrability. This film hopes to record this process from Liu’s perspective as well as understand his art practice from this intimate distance.
