The main feature of Ai Xuan's painting style is borrowing the scene to relieve his inner emotions. When he saw the vast of the world of snow, that complete silence, solitude and the greatness, holiness of the land have deeply moved him, and he transformed these feelings onto the canvas. Ai Xuan exists in all of his paintings. Therefore his paintings are also his monolog.

Ai craftily combined the lyricism of solitude with a little sense of mysterious. Solitude has already carried a mysterious feeling, and this feeling gets stronger when it happened in an immense wasteland. However Ai never neglects the beauty of people and the nature, although he used bizarre compositions to make the picture extraordinary, yet he never left viewer's appreciation of the beauty behind. Therefore, Ai used the charm of beauty to bring the viewers into a beautiful world of religious emotions and mysterious atmospheres. His paintings are symbolic, like an arrow on a bow, drown but not released, using implicit and ambiguous methods, he made the conviction and influence stronger.

Ai's languagein his paintings is chastening and exquisite. He painted vulgar lives gracefully, with careful and detailed arrangements. The counter in the picture is distinctive, the effects of the outer counter divided up the spaces in the picture, formed a delicate relation with the space inside the counter (the texture, changes of color tones, etc.)... and Ai obsessed and enjoyed it dearly. But he handled the relation properly, kept the feelings from his life, given the order of rationality at the same time. Of course, he avoids leaving the trace of "making it up".

Ai Xuan is the member of China Artist's Association, top art teacher in the country, and the son of Ai Qing, a famous poet in China. His works have participated many national and international exhibitions, and are awarded and widely collected.
