Preface

最初让我走进抽象的是我发现蕴藏其中的真实之光,犹如初踏世界的第一次触摸,同时我对以前所学产生了质疑,意识到我需要花一些时间去修正曾为之沾沾自喜的熟练感、习惯性、认知标准。随着时间的推移那种对于纯粹的向往并无消减,既不刻意也不强求,它需要在时间里慢慢成就。

我尽可能地让自己保持一个自由的状态,尝试剔除所有多余的杂质,甚至忘记以往的经验、习惯性的流畅,我所面临的是穿越自己。在这条路上我觉得才刚刚开始。

My most recent body of work combines my trademark explorations of abstraction and surface texture with an innovative new splash of colour. Previously, my work focused on varying degrees of black and white expressionistic marks, which are now accompanied by a bold and striking use of red. Building on the traditions of techniques learned through the study of painting in China and Japan, My latest paintings fuse my trademark rhythmic tranquility with an almost violent and passionate streak. The result is something elegantly experimental, as I merge serenity and fury. In discussing my work, I have compared the act of painting to a personal spiritual exploration of the senses. With the new inclusion of red, this exploration takes on a new meaning to the viewer, as the bold colour can signify excitement, passion and perhaps more.

On a more formal level, the red blobs and slashes recall early Modernist painting and bring to mind Western conventions, which mixed with Asian influences, create works that are true to my mixed roots. In 2006, I stated that the aim was to continue to merge my international sources of inspiration and to create work that reflects my Canadian influences and the artistic legacies of my adopted homeland. This most recent series of paintings is a testament to that desire, as I have moved on to a new level of expression, all hinging on this new and bold use of the colour red.

I was trained at the China People’s Liberation Army Academy of Art in Beijing, China, and holds an MFA from the City University of Art in Kyoto Japan. My work has been included in numerous exhibitions in North America, Europe and Asia. In 2004, I was included in a prestigious exhibition of Canadian art held at the Canadian Chamber of commerce in Hong Kong and was invited the by Fine Arts Museum in Beijing to participate in an exhibition. My work can be found in both public and private collections internationally.
