Introduction from the artist:
My passion for the arts and painting is a fire that has always been burning inside of me, as if it has been waiting for the right time to flourish. Exactly 20 years after my second exhibition, I almost became unable to draw, so all this time I have been eager to express myself, to make art, and to paint what I have inside.
This is my third individual exhibition, for which my cherished, long-lasting compression has been transmitted into a very unique, vivid, expressive, strange and unique kind of energy. Unique is the theme of animals – including the emphasis on the 12 animal designations – which few artists have paid attention to. Varied is the materials – lacquer, oil painting, acrylic – which I took advantage of to the fullest. Strange is my collaboration with some young painters of 4-5 years old for the exhibition. This combination of ideas gives this exhibition an exhilarating appeal.
In terms of influence, this exhibition inherits the artistic directions of the four main school of arts: Impressionism art, Cubist art, Abstract art, and Expressionism art. Overall, this is an exotic exhibit that draws inspiration from animals and express the artist’s philosophy of life, which is worth seeing and pondering.
