As a representative of the new generation of outstanding sensitive young artists, Bai Di strives to explore intergenerational language, and attempts to express confusion and pondering of human beings in the prosperous material era. Under the global context of time-space convergence, Bai Di applies details of indoor life to convey the inner emptiness and pain, as well as confusions and reflections of specific figures. From the deep tone coupled with the sensitive relation between human and environment of her recent works, it can be perceived the basic emotional characteristics of her intervention into reality, and she has excavated and permeated such personal emotions into her works.

Bai Di not only has been aware of the arrival of consumerism and its all-pervasive social attribute, but also focuses more on the world out of balance between matter and spirit, the loss of meaning and value subjects of people’s spiritual life, and tries to show the precarious individual space through the art of oil painting. Compared with the works of previous artists, her works pay more attention to ideological conflict, thereby becoming slices of certain sensitive social phenomenon. Meanwhile, her works would elucidate the new life forms with more subtle personal experiences, and the modern challenges confronted by spiritual life transforming from traditional to modern society. This kind of “new life forms” is the fusion process of east and west in her personal experiences, a delicate consciousness and the inner experience of a new culture’s metamorphosis and rebirth. During the intense impact of cultural integration and artistic communication, Bai Di has always been endeavoring to seek more powerful means of expression, and never ceases to create artworks without deep thinking, which shows us her inherent passion and the challenges of digesting epoch issues formed for a young female artist.
