Yellow Cucumber
Yellow cucumbers make me realize that painting can achieve many possibilities out of simple things. Still lifes allow one to contemplate; the intricate textures are harmonious with the way the plants grow. Such an insipid composition makes one concentrate on the subject, as if the cucumbers are saying that “I am not expressing anything, but this is me in my entirety.” When language returns to a state of acoustic vibrations, which are themselves complete expressions. A shout, a sigh, a howl requires no translation.
瓜
瓜让我体验了绘画可以从朴实中获得极为丰富可能性 。静物让人产生审视 ,细密的纹理 与生长的结构融合 。这种呆板的构图让注意力更加聚焦在主体上 。它好像在说 “我什么都没有表达 ,但我就是我 。这是我的全部 ,也是我的过程 。”当语言回归到声音震荡的频率 ,那它就是最完整的表达 。喊叫 、叹息 、怒吼、不需要翻译。
