Artist statement

My notion upon creating art is about decomposes and reorganize a subject. Through the process of recombining fragments, there is always something new will arise apart from the original. What is the changes and how do we define it is what I am interested in.

Personality can be solidified through creating art, because a personality also a combination of fragments. In mine creation, I try to discover the relations about myself and the age I live in; especially this digital age that flooded by Internet. Regarding this, I do not draw any conclusion and also not making critic; besides expressing my feeling, I also like to express my doubt upon improving self-cognition in this digital age.

I support the concept of Dualism, which describe the myriad things have its positive and the opposite side, but these two are auxiliary supporting each other; namely in the Taoism theory describe “Yin and Yang”. Therefore my creation concept and the way I express also split to two contrast parts.

I apply the computer language, namely “the binary system” to the numeral fills in colour game concept combine with nude painting. I referencing symbolic expression to metaphor the relations of man and the digital world that composed by the number ‘0’ and ‘1’.

I use thick and heavy paint to form the character and texture of flesh to represent the physical reality; opposite with the virtual world composed by dots and lines, to symbolize the psychological reality. Both fragmented but yet connected one another. It just like it is impossible to disentangle artifice from nature, fact from fiction, fantasy from reality.

I concern about the structure and composition of my image. I refer to the structure of the fragmented safety glass, map, and computer motherboard, mosaic art and so on, to present my concept of virtual world: an artificial nature.

我的創作概念

我覺得創作本身是碎片的組合過程。即把既有的、個別的事物分解再重組，從而產生新的東西。當事物被重組後將產生怎樣的變化？它將如何被重新解讀？這是我所感興趣的。

我的探討

創作是一個認識自我的途徑，而自我也是許多碎片的合成。在我的創作裡，我試著探討自身與我生存的時代的關係，特別是受網絡滲透的數碼時代之間的關係。對於此我不下定論，也不作批判；只想呈現我的個人感受，並藉此題出一個問題：數碼時代究竟是促進了人對自我的認知，抑或相反？

我的价值觀

我是支持二原論的，即万物有其正、反二面，而這二面是相輔相承的；即道家學說裡所描述的“太極”。因此我的創作概念及表現手法也分裂成兩個對比的部份。

我的構思

我嘗試用現代的電腦語言，即“二進制”，以數字填色游戲的概念結合裸體繪畫；並運用像征手法來隱喻由數字“０”和“１”組成的數碼世界與人在生理和心理上的關係。


我的表現手法

我以厚重的肌理質感表現生理上的現實，相對由點、線組成的虛擬世界，我稱之為心理上的現實。兩者互相分裂成碎片但又結合為一體；就好比不能完全把人工的從自然中分開、把虛構的從事實中分開、 把幻像從現實中分開一樣。

我重視畫面的結構。我參考了安全玻璃的碎裂軌跡、地圖、電腦磁板、摩石藝術等的結構，以呈現我對虛擬世界的概念：一種人工的自然。
