Contemporary Painting 02

 

Self-portrait, oil on 12x16" canvas


The expressionist style is not limited to the exaggerated or rendered composition or color of the characters, but also applies to the presentation of landscapes or still lifes. Using a palette knife to show the thick-coated texture is particularly capable of showing visual tension, as if it is the endorsement of the emotional expression of painters.


表現主義風格不僅限於人物誇大或是渲染的構圖或是色彩也適用於風景或是靜物的呈現。以調色刀來展現厚塗式質感,特別能夠呈現視覺張力彷彿是畫家們情感流露的代言


I was 46 years old then, just like a flower that was about to wither after it blooms. It seems that I was still attached to the tail of youth, but I couldn't grasp it. The self-confident me, the tears hidden in my eyes, still keep on What is the meaning of life? What is the definition of love?


正直46歲的那個我就像一朵綻放過後即將凋垂的花朵彷彿仍眷戀青春的尾巴卻怎麼也抓不著看似自信的我,隱藏於眼匡中的淚水仍然不停的質疑生命的意義究竟何在愛的定義是什麼?


Birthday roses, oil on 16x20" canvas


Only by knowing surrender can you understand the taste of the rose life, bloom to your heart's content, enjoy every moment of the moment, give generously without asking for rewards, living your own mission, and not seeking approval from compromising...


只有懂得臣服,才能體會到玫瑰人生的滋味,才能盡情綻放,才能享受當下的每一刻,才能不求回報地慷慨施捨,才能踐行自己的使命,不妥協中求得認可……



Oil painting on 24"x30" canvas, Autumn Leaves

In this work, I tried to combine Wayne Thiebaud’s expressive methods of light and shadow, and the use of impressionist color points (crystallinity and structure), plus my own creativity: phantom and reflection under the sun and the combination of colorful colors. Finally I try to simplify the shape of the object, overall, hoping to present the surprise and the sense of rhythm that gorgeous autumn leaves of street scenery bring to us.

在這件作品中,我嘗試結合韋恩·蒂博的光影表現手法,印象派色點(結晶度和結構)的運用,加上我自己的創造力:陽光下的幻影和反射以及色彩的組合。 最後我盡量簡化物體的形狀,整體上,希望能呈現出街景絢爛的秋葉帶給人們的驚喜和韻律感。
