Artistic points of departure:
With my studies of the Essence of Creativity and the Mode of art creation, as well as the backtracking of the ancient philosophies such as from Taoism (Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu) and Friedrich W. Nietzsche, and the benefits of my experiences studying the Media Art Theories in Germany, I am trying to explore an alternative possibility of painting(incl.Chinese ink painting) with the modern techniques of art with my own personality.
The forms of my work include drawing, painting, performance, installation, photography, video and mix-medium.
My central interests:
A. Position of digital media in contemporary painting and his development in a cultural .
B. The painterly extension about Optical illusion and mass media.
C. The possibility of non-human painting (counteract Style-violence, abandon the subjective will) with Gene evolutionary algorithm (Fully automatic machine painting and Artificial Intelligence).
Themes:
Spirituality and science (Creole technologies, creolization, Quantum mechanics, Fuzzy Theory and Uncertainty principle), Sublime and naturalness, Religion and the universe, and the place and the time, identity and the body.
Philosophy:
Developing painting with a form of anti-paintings or non-paintings.make photograph without taking photograph; against the violence of art with the art of violence (the subjective violence of the artist)
