2017 The Story of Creation (On the road) Print

I am an Christian artist and high school art teacher. I am married with a beautiful daughter. My works are a visualization of praises, that is, silent songs toward God in an effort to catch up traces of beings, human loneness, and tracks of time penetrating this age. Through my works, I wanted to deliver religious dispositions in an existential solution in order to cognize the proper realm of religion and art as a form of combination. I tried to use the principle of formative arts to express God's footsteps shedding light on this age, not to express hardened subjects and forms such as fossils. "Let there be light."(Genesis 1:3) God's creation is to spread light over infinite space and to build the forms and world of creatures, while artists' creation is to break phenomenal silence with light and to reveal their beings. The structure of works has a framework of images composed of signals and symbols. Among them, points, lines and planes account for important formative principles. My works also choose abstract expression elements and geometrical structure of repetitive lines and curves, and combine forms as images of plants and animals in the whole space of canvas. I also borrowed and expressed icons in the Medieval Ages and biblical figures in the Renaissance. In the process of working out the space, regular repetitions of lines and curves were done by impressing materials with tools, not by brushing them. This technique produced two-dimensional space on the canvas. Pleasure evoked from the labor of repetitive impressing lines is not less than pleasure of coincidence produced by paraffin dying on a unidimensional canvas.
