About
I am used to being active at night, piecing together my thoughts and creations at night. The painting is a self-portrait, and I try to portray it psychologically. It’s not just the light at night that affects the mood of the picture. The subject of this painting is when I look at the back of myself in the mirror. I tried to pull myself away from my body and look at myself indifferently - but the truth was I couldn’t. And when we look at others’ backs, is the other person’s identity symbol a projection of us? If our projection is an echo of the world around us, is this affected thought a fatal comfort?
Bio
I have studied traditional Chinese painting since childhood, and this art form has influenced my artistic concept imperceptibly. Both the blank space of the picture, the perspective relationship and the expression of things can arouse my interest. These concepts were intertwined with contemporary art in my mind, resulting in my present work. The themes of my works often revolve around emotions, self and body. My self is a projection of my surroundings.
