刘昊天的“浮生系列”是其写实油画阶段探索的又一全新成果，以“浮生”为主旋律的一批带有“塑料薄膜”的作品，为我们展现当下社会在飞速发展之下，人类在大环境面临的种种压力，由之带来对于社会、环境等问题的思考。有喜有忧，有笑有泪，我们如同一粒尘埃，在宇宙之间如此渺小但又不可替代。浮生若梦，浮生未歇，人生始终没有定论，我们可以虚度和享受时光，进而试图寻找人生真正的价值。 
刘昊天的油画运用古典写实技法描绘当代“景观”，浮生系列”以人物、静物的描绘为主，且每一幅都在主体物之上覆了一层“塑料薄膜”，这是艺术家精心构思和观念生发的产物，极具当代意味。人物为主的几幅作品中均以少女作为画面主体，从她们的眼神中，可以看到一丝迷茫、惊恐、疲累、压抑，并且她们被一层不透气的“塑料薄膜”遮盖住面部和身体，再加上艺术家对画面人物手势的刻画，表现出少女想要挣脱或即将挣脱束缚的感觉。这就像一个面具，人们带着面具生活总是很压抑；这也像一张无形的网，当代社会的极速发展下人们的压力倍增，很多社会问题凸显。静物为主的几幅作品中，以当代流行的卡通形象的选取是其特色之处，如《浮生系列·青春物语》中的静物以卡通玩偶、明信片、纪念物为主，这些带有怀旧意味的静物将我们带回青春岁月，静物上覆盖的“塑料薄膜”更体现这些静物是珍藏着青春记忆。但同时，也让我们看到像“塑料薄膜”这种现代产物在给人类带来便利的同时也有可能产生环境污染，同样让我们思考人类与自然环境的关系问题。在形式语言表现上，刘昊天对人物或静物运用写实主义手法刻画，扎实且饱满，充分展现艺术家的情感世界以及对当代社会问题的思考。艺术家对于画面构图设计也很有想法，截取人物最中心部分作主体，以人物表情作整幅作品情感基调的外显。画面背景部分，艺术家通常以黑色或深色打底，有的配以浅色衬布，与主体物的色彩相和谐。刘昊天对于光影的处理很娴熟，人物面部的光和“塑料薄膜”的光搭配的恰到好处，使得整个画面协调流畅。 刘昊天的“浮生系列”是其写实油画阶段探索的又一全新成果，以“浮生”为主旋律的一批带有“塑料薄膜”的作品，为我们展现当下社会在飞速发展之下，人类在大环境面临的种种压力，由之带来对于社会、环境等问题的思考。有喜有忧，有笑有泪，我们如同一粒尘埃，在宇宙之间如此渺小但又不可替代。浮生若梦，浮生未歇，人生始终没有定论，我们可以虚度和享受时光，进而试图寻找人生真正的价值。 刘昊天的油画体现着其创作的发展是内在的、自律的、进步的，其思想变化、创作态度和趣味反映在艺术表现上。在观看他的作品时，能够引发我们思考人性的价值和人性的局限，这或许就是刘昊天创作的现实立场和责任。他从不同角度观察和凝视生活，以当代的眼光和审美将这些细节呈现，让我们体会生命的清醒和通透，还有灵魂的自由和浪漫。Liu Haotian's oil paintings use classical realistic techniques to depict contemporary "landscapes". The "Floating Life Series" mainly depicts figures and still lifes, and each of them is covered with a layer of "plastic film" on the main object. This is the product of the artist's careful conception and concept generation, and is very contemporary. In several works that are mainly figures, girls are the main subjects of the picture. From their eyes, you can see a trace of confusion, fear, fatigue, and depression, and their faces and bodies are covered by a layer of airtight "plastic film". Coupled with the artist's portrayal of the gestures of the figures in the picture, it shows that the girls want to break free or are about to break free from the bondage. It's like a mask. People always feel depressed when they live with masks; it's also like an invisible net. Under the rapid development of contemporary society, people's pressure has doubled, and many social problems have emerged. In several works that are mainly still lifes, the selection of contemporary popular cartoon images is its characteristic. For example, the still life in "Floating Life Series·Youth Story" is made of cartoon dolls, postcards, and souvenirs. These nostalgic still lifes bring us back to our youth, and the "plastic film" covering the still lifes further reflects that these still lifes are treasured memories of youth. But at the same time, it also allows us to see that modern products like "plastic film" may also cause environmental pollution while bringing convenience to humans, and also makes us think about the relationship between humans and the natural environment. In terms of formal language expression, Liu Haotian uses realism to portray characters or still lifes, which is solid and full, fully showing the artist's emotional world and thinking about contemporary social issues. The artist also has ideas about the composition design of the picture, taking the most central part of the character as the main body, and using the character's expression as the manifestation of the emotional tone of the whole work. For the background part of the picture, the artist usually uses black or dark as the base, and some are matched with light-colored lining cloth, which is in harmony with the color of the main object. Liu Haotian is very skilled in handling light and shadow, and the light on the character's face and the light of the "plastic film" are matched just right, making the whole picture harmonious and smooth.Liu Haotian's "Floating Life Series" is another new achievement of his exploration in the realistic oil painting stage. A group of works with "plastic film" with "floating life" as the main theme show us the various pressures faced by human beings in the environment under the rapid development of the current society, which brings us to think about social and environmental issues. There are joys and sorrows, laughter and tears. We are like a speck of dust, so small but irreplaceable in the universe. Floating life is like a dream, floating life is not over, life is never finalized, we can waste and enjoy time, and then try to find the true value of life.Liu Haotian's oil paintings reflect that the development of his creation is internal, self-disciplined and progressive. His ideological changes, creative attitudes and interests are reflected in artistic expression. When watching his works, we can think about the value and limitations of human nature. This may be the realistic position and responsibility of Liu Haotian's creation. He observes and gazes at life from different angles, presents these details with contemporary eyes and aesthetics, and allows us to experience the clarity and transparency of life, as well as the freedom and romance of the soul.
