I often ask myself, "What is going through the viewers' minds when they look at my works? What kind of images can resonate with the viewers and leave them with a deep visual impression?"
As for me, the expression of the image has apparent advantages and disadvantages: Compared with filming and writing, it is more difficult for an image to present a strong storyline or a logical idea; however, because it is static, it is also the most intuitive. The audience can see the whole picture in an instant and leave an impression. Therefore, when I create canvas works, I hope to think of myself as a visual researcher, observing things around me in an image-like way, thinking about what shapes, colors in what environment will make people feel visually interested, as well as the most effective way to convey a visual experience. This series is a visual experiment in which I start to probe such questions.
Prior to finishing these paintings, I found it difficult to imagine how the varying arrangements of different-colored blocks could manipulate visual perceptions. Unable to solve this problem by switching the images back and forth in my imagination, I rendered this thought process into a group of still pictures, allowing audiences and myself to stare at them, feel them, and even analyze them - to experience the act of visual analysis.
No.1 set a basic order of the colors in the space, which served as a control group in the experiment. No.2 simply changes the order of the colors; No.3 covers the red and blue color blocks with a yellow block, resulting in spatial uncertainty in the red and blue color blocks; No.4 examines compression; based on No.4, ultimately, No.5 experiments with the color of background space. I hope people can think visually and feel the images instead of trying to use linear, linguistic logic to comprehend them. It offers a moment of visual exploration, for an experience that serves the eyes.
