Art characteristics

The artist had been studied the Chinese calligraphy and painting for the decades. He tends to read some Chinese philosophy classics and Buddhist ones for the knowledge or meditation. The life issues deeply inspire him, so the motifs of his art creations are always familiar to people. Besides, he admires the bold colours used by the Fauvists as well as the mortality concept expressed from Edvard Munch's works. He takes for granted that the ink painting is able to combining the traditional Chinese art spirits with the contemporary art ideology.[1] In recent years, the artist starts to work oil/acrylic paintings with Chinese painting skills (e.g. The solo exhibition “Happiness. Rhythm of Flora” in 2011). He would like to discover an innovation for the contemporary art as well as the ink painting.
