Untitled, 252×308cm(28×28cm×99) Pencil on Paper 2020
Confronting the ever-changing outside world, I always use fragmented time to paint with a pencil on a piece of paper, recording my current thoughts and feelings. In this way, the accumulation as my diaries have formed a large number of rich visual elements. Every time I take one piece arbitrarily, I can recall the situation at the moment and re-experience my mood and state then. Inadvertently, I put together these fragmented images to form a visual landscape beyond my expectation. It seems to be an experiment on art language that takes advantage of the trend, but it is actually a way for me to speak in the face of the world. It can be said that whether it is the presentation of individual pieces of paper, or the multi-dimensional landscape that combines multiple pieces of paper, it is a personal experience and expression of my appeal and concepts.
