Artist Statement: When creating a project, I’ll start by drawing numerous lines on the canvas, with two or three colors, which overlap, intersect or juxtapose, to develop the composition of the painting. The process of putting on adhesive tapes, coloring, and peeling off the tapes repeats for several cycles until the only thing left on the canvas is paint. To put it more precisely, the process is based on the overlapping of physical labors and paint, recording the passage of time. The process has a number of variants : adhesive tapes texture, thickness of paint, the direction adopted when applying flat colors, weather, and even humidity. As such, each work becomes unique and peculiar. During 2008 and 2009, I tried to add geometric images, which convey my feelings and expressions. When viewing the works, a certain distance and different angles are required to find various layers in them. Those geometric images are an intuitive expression of my emotions, which are directly conveyed through the painting. Since 2010, I have tried to organize and clarify all sorts of feelings in daily life, and focused on the influence from or marks left by an event. The event can be subtle and minor, but presents the
glorious nuances” in my own world. I make full observations and reflections with all my sensory faculties in order to feel and understand such an event, and convert it into an artistic work. The existing codes in the work change with my sensations. Apart from making the audiences focus on the images or codes compose of lines, I have attempted to break or make irregular the maximum part of the painting. As for the painting composition, I have tried to go beyond limits of canvas by laying down thick, protruding paints and intervening the balance to create a 3D effect. A contrast color against the background will be use for the protruding part. If it is true that colors bear the weight of sprits and emotions, the bright colors in my work is a deep, complicated visual perception that represents stacked layers of emotions.
