Specific performance:
(1) Make good use of momentum: whether it is practical, such as a wave-like wall or an ever-changing jet-like fountain; It is also subtle, such as depicting a dynamic or moving figure (no longer the static representation of the classical Renaissance, but the dynamic of a skewed configuration). Attempt to express or imply a sense of infinity; For example, the road that stretches to the horizon, the mural that shows the illusion of an endless sky, and the mirror technique that uses the effect of changing perspective to make it confusing.
(2) Emphasizing light: Design a kind of artificial light, rather than natural light, to produce a dramatic atmosphere, and create a space with a more three-dimensional, deep, and layered sense than the Renaissance. The contour lines are blurred, the composition is organic, and there is a sense of wholeness. Pursue dramatic, exaggerated, and see-through effects. Regardless of the boundaries between different art forms, it integrates architecture, painting, sculpture and other art forms.
