Rough Impression

Artist Statement

I was studying in Australia from 2019 to 2020, “Rough Impression” was a project I developed gradually during the lockdown and pandemic. My intention was to break through the enclosed spaces and the limitation of collecting materials and sizes of creating, thus building a style/domain of myself.

The artworks are a series of paintings originated from past photos and memories combining with my state of mind. They began from sketches of the foreign country I stayed, then I started painting in the form of landscapes. During the process I project myself into my works, presenting my different inner appearance with changes of colors and composition. My practice is an extension of free spirit, where I can explore unrestrictedly and let my thoughts flow. I want to paint personal spaces with my own imagination, making my works lie between fantasy and reality, allowing myself to have a haven in an abstract world.

創作自述

我在2019到2020年於澳洲留學，「表象(Rough Impression)」是在封城與疫情期間逐步發展的計畫。初衷是期望能突破封閉的環境以及取材和創作尺寸的諸多限制，從而建立屬於自己的風格領域。

作品是一系列來自於過去的相片與記憶結合著自身心境的油畫。系列始於對異國城市的素描，接著我開始以風景畫的形式創作。在過程中我將自我投射到繪畫中，以顏色和構圖的變化來展現個人的不同樣貌。創作是自由精神的延伸，在那裡可以無拘束的探索，讓思緒流動。我希望能以自己的想像描繪出自己的空間，使作品位於幻想與現實之間，讓我能在抽象的世界有一個避風港。
