Artist's Statement 藝術家自述
Even in today's digital world, I still love using traditional art materials. I enjoy the special feeling and texture that real acrylic paint gives - it creates a beautiful glow that nothing else can match. I use unique, vivid, and flat colors with rich layers in my paintings. My paintings include many different cultural symbols that give people multiple ways to understand them. I combine my favorite parts of pop culture with a Western, post-modern art style, turning my art into a visual story about Hong Kong’s history and culture.
在數碼時代,我仍舊珍視傳統媒介,擁抱實體塑膠彩的質感與肌理所帶來,無取代的光暈氛圍,同時又會親身去耳聞目睹當下的大千世界;另一方面,我亦有幸趕上互聯網這廣義的時光機,能夠穿梭古今中外,突破時空界限去寫生,將森羅萬象以解拆重構的方式,展現一幅幅色彩斑斕的美好世界。 我用獨特、鮮明、平塗但具豐富層次感的色調,畫作融入多元層次的文化符號,提供多重理解的線索。我將自己喜歡的流行文化的特質,與西方後現代畫風相結合,作品立即變成了描劃香港歷史和文化的浮世繪。
