ARTIST'S STATEMENT
|
Since
1997, I have painted bricks on boards with finely sifted
sand. My more recent paintings of bricks challenge the
limits and break beyond the pre-conceived boundaries of
work on flat, two-dimensional media. Some art critics
have predicted that the high-technology age signifies
the end of painting, since “flat” paintings
cannot possibly match technical developments; modern technology
can manipulate images in a very sophisticated way. My
work maximizes reality by including painting on the side
of the canvas, and that is one of the reasons that my
paintings are positively reviewed by art-critics. Painting
on the sides of canvases is something that high-technology
is not able to duplicate.
Though
my works appear in three-dimensional space, they are still
two-dimensional paintings. My paintings are more like
photography; the paintings are more “real”
than reality. My works represent my inherited sentiment,
embracing all and depicting the images in a straightforward
way, not simple like Western Hyperrealism.
