作品簡介
A series of three oil paintings takes the artist's father as a starting point - he is the only key connection that the artist has with his homeland. Through the life of old days and memories told by his father, the artist looks for things that relate him to his home community. In this process, the unfamiliarity and questions caused by the other's memories and narratives cause slanted visual composition. This challenges ordinary viewers' habit of looking at paintings and forces a reflection on a gap between the reality and expectations. At the same time, as if venting emotions, ink is splashed onto the canvasses and a multiple forms of visual experience and viewing is inserted into urban landscapes. The artist uses double visual effects in this work - on the one hand, there are inverted images of urban landscapes and landscapes of his homeland, and on the other, abstract images of rainbow-colored ceramic glass beads are placed between these two contrasting landscapes and connect them. Playing on the puns of "liuli" - ceramic glass - and "liu/li" - staying and leaving as well as "tuteng" - totem of his indigenous community - and "tuteng" - a form of healing in psychology.
