Self-Portrait\Rembrandt—B13 (original size) Artwork - Limited Edition of 12

Traditional patterns found everywhere in China, All contain hidden wishes and blessings for a good life. These cultural aesthetics, accumulated over 5,000 years, This wisdom-filled aesthetic, Is one of the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture, I am inspired by these patterns. "Ways of Seeing" series—觀看之道｜道之觀看 Combines classic Western works with traditional Chinese patterns And includes traditional patterns from other cultures (to a lesser extent) These ancient Chinese traditional patterns Are carefully selected after extensive research Incorporate personal symbols into some of the patterns. This form of referencing and integration is not plagiarism, but a novel interpretation. I hope that through my work, Viewers can instantly recognize the limitations brought by their own culture, (A sense of bound that originates from the domestic culture.) this cultural restriction can imbue the work with a certain level of poeticism, enigma, and aesthetic allure. Furthermore, it embodies the time-honored aesthetic principles of China. "There is painting inpoetry, and poetry in painting." The merit and aesthetics of cultural bounds. Use cultural signs to express cultural bounds, And this concept is applicable to all forms of visual arts. This is the perspective I wish to advocate and express. I believe this perspective holds both aesthetic and academic value. The "Tao" in"Art of Viewing"+"Ways of Seeing" includes ancient Chinese philosophical views. At the same time The Artworks seeks to indirectly convey a famous ancient Chinese Zen saying: "A mountain is a mountain, a mountain is not a mountain, a mountain is a mountain again" as well as various perspectives under the influence of cross-cultural exchanges Everything in the world has two sides Therefore, fundamentally "Ways of Seeing" series—觀看之道｜道之觀看 consists of two pieces as a complete set Clear | Obscure (VAGUE) I hope you all enjoy the visual feast I present.
