For the past two or three years, I have been strongly attracted to the technique of “Peach Blossom and Dove” by Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song dynasty. Its contradictory qualities, such as three-dimensionality and flatness, realism, and decorativeness, are sublimed into one.

I seek to update the overwhelming brushwork to the present. Specifically, I used animal hair to express the unique texture of colored surfaces. In these two works, the culmination of this texture is perfectly represented. However, in the end, these works have made me forget this desire.

It is because the composition exceeded the presence of the objects. More precisely, I found various mental scenery created between the animal faces. It gave birth to a new work, “虚/ Open.”

My brushwork changed at once.

I released the brush and let it be independent. A new journey began.

The monkeys staring at me are a gateway, the “entrance” that invites the viewers into a new realm.
