Reflection & Retrospect

Artist Statement

I hope to explore the intersection between abstraction and representation through my works.

My depiction of the idea can be divided into two series. It's hard to describe one's inner world or the vastness of outer world with few words. So I decide to realize the concept through a series of small works.

In my small oil paintings, inspired by nature, I repeatedly paint my imaginary scene in certain pattern, exploring the infinte possibility of landscape forms and personal mental state. I see them as a series of portraits that develop constantly.

Woolen paintings are the result of my process in playing around materials. I aimed to find a free approach to simply enjoy making without purpose.I used wools as brushes, embraced accidents and travels on canvases with paints. Moving forward into the unknown through time, just like the world we see.

Ultimately, I hope that my practice can speak its own story and describe the world.

創作自述

我希望透過我的作品探索著抽象與具象的交界。

我對這個想法的描寫可以分為兩個系列。以隻字片語來描寫一個人的內心世界或外在環境的廣闊是困難的，於是我決定以小幅系列來呈現這個概念。

在小幅油畫中，我受到自然環境的啟發，依照固定的形式重複描繪自己想像的風景，探索山水樣貌和個人心境的無窮可能。我將它們視為不停發展的自畫像系列。

羊毛畫是我在嘗試素材的過程中發展的產物。我想找一個自由的技法去單純不帶目的的享受創作。我以羊毛為筆，擁抱意外，在畫布上以顏料遊走。如同所見的世界一樣，隨著時間向著未知前進。

最終，我希望我的創作能說出自己的故事並描繪這個世界。
