| 关于此艺术家 |
My drive is to create visual art with the same visceral effect as Instrumental Music. One doesn't have to think about Beethoven's "Eroica" to be affected by it, and I want my work to have the same quality. There is no secret language to decode in most of my pieces, no personal mythology to unravel, and yet I hope that the viewer is struck by my best works with a sense of mystery that doesn't demand to be understood. I am not a surrealist, yet my images are illiteral-new realities that never existed except in my mind's eye, realized through the use of multiple photographic captures and temporal sculpture blended into worlds that can't quite be, but are. |
