"The cooperation (with Thomas) was quite accidental. But as I paint him more, I've found a temperament and a mental state that I feel is ideal," he says.

Mao applies a lot of gray to indicate the sadness and sensitiveness deep in people today. He says he tries to portray his own state on Thomas' face-and also a look that shows the common mentality of people.

Xia creates a strange, magical world in his works. The 58-year-old artist paints deformed human bodies and faces of weird ghosts and deities. He arranges these figures in a dramatic setting like that of a stage. He teaches stage art at the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing.

He says deformation is on one level a personal resistance with a uniform standard; it also indicates people's dissatisfaction with reality.
