Empty &Nothingness

THEORY CONTEXT

I have got the concept from Tapies’s writing: ‘Reminiscences Of Antoni Tápies ‘. He has argued lots of his thinking about contemporary art theory.And he interested in Ansia philosophy which has important influence in his art exploring . 

Even today, these theories are still very inspired by his special point view. So how to continue our research on this issue is a important method of improving and exploring  . 

In this performance painting project, I present the artistically concentration of my understanding about ‘Empty’(kong 空） in view expression. ‘ art is a progress that more important for artists discover themselves and art, after painting lots of things on canvas:cover it by white color, it seems become a blank canvas again, but it’s not the same one as doing nothing on it. It still could see texture and color changing under it. That’s the concept of Empty : it’s not real nothing, it’s same discussion with nothingness in philosophy, that it’s the silence after senses of noise,blank after layers and layers painting, understanding peaceful after concentration and torturing ~
