“echo, from the dawn” －an ongoing project

當我看著天空、水的倒影、透明的光線，及感受空氣觸及皮膚時冰涼或者微熱的感覺……這些自然帶給我的經驗，幫助我進入一種冥想的狀態，彷彿身體不再存在，時間／空間、好的／壞的、對／錯、幻象／實體、親近／距離等抽象的概念也都消失。
一層一層重複的色彩建構出深沉又有光澤的表面，如凍結的寂靜。
色彩對我來說是最純粹的力量，我不試圖尋求實象的再現，而是把我的觀者帶入一個超越物象的原型的純粹的內在經驗，並企及空寂的邊界／狀態。
這是一個持續進行的計畫，在這邊提到的與我在研究所時的創作自述沒有太大差別，這些虛幻不實又神祕的東西、某種色調及無法言喻的感覺，是我一直感興趣且從不厭倦的。這或許是某種命運吧，如Agnes Martin所說：你也只能服從。對我來說，我的繪畫從不是空白的頁面。

Whenever I look at sky, reflection of water, luminous light, and of perceive the cool or warm feelings as the air touches my skin….These natural phenomena help me access/enter a contemplative state as if the body doesn’t exist anymore. Those abstract concepts as Time/space, good/bad, right/wrong, delusion/reality, intimacy/distance would disappear. The repetitive layering of paint/wax build to a rich and lustrous surface. As crystalized silence.
For me, the color is not just color itself, but the purest energy which brings people emotions. I don’t quest for representational truth but guide my viewers to the pure inner experience transcending from the objective reality and of reach to the void space/realm/state, or whatever it could be called.
It’s an on-going project. What I’m talking about here is still very similar as what I’ve written in my statement in the graduate school. These “nonobjective”mysterious things, some sort of subtle hue, and ineffable feeling are always what I’m interested and never feel tired. It’s probably a kinda of destiny as Agnes Martin has ever mentioned: You’ll just have to obey. For me, my painting is never like a blank page.
