“Door” treated as a special symbol in Chinese culture. In ancient China, the style and behaviour of family was called "door style", and the wealth of a family was called "menwang"; when getting married, seeking a family with the same status and wealth as one's own was called "the right family with similar door"; The punishment of the whole door is called "door punishment". Therefore, it can be seen that the door of a family house is not just an entrance and exit, it is a representative of a family, a symbol of a family.
The door decoration on the door has both material and spiritual functions. As a symbol that can reflect cultural characteristics, the door decoration expresses the simple vision of the people of all dynasties yearning for a better life.
In this painting, I have started with different brush strokes and colors in a rather unconscious way and eventually formed an image of a tradition Chinese style red door. It is an experimental approach for me tried to found out the balance between order and pure painting instant as an abstract expressionist painter.
