展覽簡介 Introduction to exhibition

Sigmund Freud upheld “daydreaming” as an important notion for art creativity, as he thought that artists should trust their subconscious minds to paint something imaginative.

Throughout these years of professional art practices, I use to psychologically struggle between Realism and Narrative Expression. It is inevitable that if I learn from the experience of Salvador Dali, I definitely do not rely on any visual references because I can simply create works in Surrealism. But in recent years, even though I observe the secular substances to paint, I am seemingly disordered by the illusions to portray the episodes in an impressionistic manner. So, is it an ironic phenomenon that I am also affected by Sigmund Freud’s theory even dealing with Realism? That’s why; I define myself as floating beyond reality and fantasy while realizing my visual experiences.

An artist has to surrender to the actual livelihood by recording or even documenting his / her perceptions from the neglected episodes of the chaotic social circumstances. Image archives from our brains are not often that trustworthy, unless you are rendering cartoon pictures with articulate stories. But, there can be a transformation process when encountering your pigments and brushstrokes on the canvas. Although the substances described are quite boring and pale, your subconscious mind can enable you to re-modify them to be very romantic with tenderness. You can still think about the input of philosophical concepts on such painting works with much more objectiveness. That is the magic of contemporary art.
