Dry on Wet

By embracing plainness, simplicity, and intimacy, this art emerges insights for cultivating a cross-boundary ecological ethos. The focal shape bears a striking resemblance to the Buddhist hand gesture, known as Mudra or Mudras (“seal” or “sign”).  The "hand-seal" depicted in the middle-bottom of this painting seeks to explore the connection between sacred gesture and insight that is central to Zen philosophy.  It used to evoke a particular state of mind.  A palm held up facing outward signifies the act of reassurance.  It combines the gestural energy and spontaneity of abstract expressionism with the mindfulness and clarity of Zen calligraphy.

In exploring the essence of Western modern art, I have been triggered, under my work, an existential feeling by constantly digging out every dream-like image in subconsciousness.  My paintings indeed devote into an artistic architecture that leads me to iterate over various visual elements based on both Bergson’s “Fluid Experience” and Carl Jung’s “Synchronicity”.   Taking this perspective, the dual dynamic fulfills a phenomenological approach in art.  It manifests that the intrinsic state of mind and moving events of the extrinsic world are being simultaneously coincided to vitalize mind-wandering imageries.
