Regarding painting subjects and objects, in terms of the use of technique, despite layers of repeated mechanical strokes, the texture of acrylic is highlighted in a series of repeated controlled actions and a natural fuzziness created by silk together project amazing effects. Thus, I become committed to integrating ink outlines, irregular lighting effects, and blank spaces with fuzzy features of silk. Such not only develops sensual elements and imageries, but also introduces an artscape built on narrative descriptions and material features.
Generally speaking, all faint lights can be defined as fluorescent light yet its principles of design remain unexamined and indistinguishable. For example, each individual is unique yet hold a common approach to life. Fluorescent light which is commonly seen yet exhibits subtle variations enhance faint and fleeting white-as-snow graphics. The progression of time and history is inevitable because no individual is capable of freezing time.
Silk projects a semi-translucent attribute: fleeting moments expressed in faint lines deliver sentiments set in different scenarios which illustrate a subtle yet conflicting condition in composition. It is with the hope to preserve this specific feature of silk by applying its original attribute and color to form an open artspace for cultivation purposes.
The design of the illustrated content is not restricted to simulation or representation. Embedded in the scenery and greenery from birthplace are cultural implications which also function as signifiers. Artworks are not only inspired by personal experiences in life, but also involve personal emotions and fantasies. A conceptual style is formed by blending the factors discussed, showcasing a contemporaneity founded on reflections on ink art.
