The oil painting "The third layer of life" by Master Amy Xu  was recommended by New York Gallery. The exhibition theme is BLANC, which placed at The Oculus in New York 2019.

BLANC

The Blanc represents an initial state and an infinite existence of our surroundings. The inclusive mindset of this endless space that "white" gives, is an open-minded narrative that overwrites any inherent definitions. The process of overwriting can be fierce and direct, fighting against the stereotypes and replacing them with new interpretations; or sometimes it can also be gentle and figurative - slowly infiltrating the rigid thoughts with another perspective and abandoning all prejudice in contact.
In short, the "Blanc" art show is a process of redefinition, an attempt to overthrow the intrinsic state, and an important step in removing all the labels and reintegrating the combinations. The art show presents the artist's critical reflection and redefinition of the inherent cognition, as well as a series of artistic practices that transcend cultural boundaries.

《The third layer of life》


Diameter 20 inches 



People say that there are three layers when you explore life. The first layer is when you comprehend it as what it looks like, when you go deeper to the second layer you would realize that things are different from their appearances, and when you are at an even deeper state you would find out that “the mountain is still the mountain, and the water remains the water“.

The universe does not always rotate around you, and you have to accept the flaws, especially when the nuances would illustrate beauty in some circumstances. One thing to emphasize is that the beauty of defects is when the appearance has flaws while the deep inside is beautiful. Happiness means you can accept defects and live freely in a flawed environment. The meaning of free life is to keep the inner truth and to adapt to the flawed society and live happily.
