About The Artwork

In this piece, I tried to harmonize a variety of elements and materials that come from ancient traditional Chinese culture and western culture. I also used Chinese traditional calligraphy skills to show the poem describing the lotus which is translated "she comes from the ooze, yet remains stainless; though baptized by ripples, she stands modest." With the same spirit of the lotus, we need to conquer difficulties and become better ourselves. I used Chinese tea and Pepsi. As we know, tea is a marked symbol of Chinese health culture and Pepsi can somehow, stand for contemporary American culture. I want to demostrate that whatever country you come from, everyone has right to pursue health. It has the Chinese version of American Dream. The lotus can easily grow up in any place and becomes very beautiful, as if a person has financial problem but works hard, he can finally becomes rich and succeddful. The lotus also has religious symbolism that means sacredness and immortality. Moreover, I found that different materials have distinvtive effects, and when they met each other, a wonderful plot can appeared.

Art can exist everywhere. The art practice, however, is never limited by the media where people put art on. As artists, we need to consider what art is and prevent ourselves from regarding the concept of art too narrowly. Then, when get rid of the limitations on the definition of art, we can bravely create every kind of art whatever the materials may be. That is also my principle for creating art. I always have the wish to express my own feelings somewhere I can easily touch. Then, blank space in books, scratch paper, wallpaper, as well as sketchbooks, all can be media for me to create art pieces. I love to try all kinds of materials because I find different materials can provide me distinctive kinds of surprises. I am interested in the relationship between human beings and nature. The ways of depicting natural phenomena are varied. People use a variety of methods and materials to express their feelings about all kinds of natural phenomena. Therefore, many artworks appear to describe what people experience, and what they feel about the environment around them. I also create this kind of artwork. In my opinion, the best art can show the theme. I want everyone to recognize and expresses my own painting styles.
