| 关于此艺术家 |
Abstraction is a unique medium of expression. It is by nature ultimate creative freedom. Without the restrictions of representation one can create artwork that includes a composite of ideas and a myriad of emotions. Whole patterns of thought that otherwise could not be expressed, or only expressed in lengthy verbal or written language, can be communicated by the arrangement of line and form on a single surface. In an attempt to illustrate the impact of natural emotional contradiction I employ contrasting abstractions and paint layers.
A complete and fulfilled life can be wracked with insecurity. A child can be innocent and silly one moment and entirely serious the next. It is our reality that we do not function with singular absolute emotions. Society, however celebrates these absolutes in individuals. This false importance leads me in my desire to express the beauty of contrasts. My interest is to demonstrate the hard and soft parts of ourselves whereby I regard the contradiction as one idea, one complete emotion rather than two. It is the resolution of opposites into one new identity, complete in itself that is important.
