Artist Statement:
From western modern art,
Cubism and Surrealism are two
fundamental conceptual
influences on me. However, the
overall construction of my
work is still rooted in
traditional Chinese painting,
both in terms of composition
and technique. I try to focus
on the lyric element in an
image, a symbolist approach:
to suggest, not to define.
Since I was a child, the
unconsciousness and
subconsciousness have always
intrigued me. It seems to me
they compose expression in
art, as logic guides
explanation in science. I have
spent considerable time on
psychology, anthropology and
religious studies. I borrow
thematic elements from various
ethnic cultures and religions
to support my creativity. I am
looking for humanness, as a
whole, rather than individual
specifics, to depict and
express in my work.
Sometimes I get lost in my own
search for expression and can
only probe my way through the
process without knowing what
and why. The only saving grace
for me is that I am an artist,
not a scientist: I am here to
describe, not to explain.
I hope my paintings work as a
well of dreams that can
communicate and inspire others
to their own interpretation
and expression.
