Artist’s Note:
In my painting practice of 2013 and 2014, I attempted to deconstruct the technical elements of painting - modeling, color, structure, space, perspective, brush stoke, etc., then query, doubt, and reconstruct them. The process was complex and difficult, in which I examined and demanded myself ceaselessly, and expressed my temperament and states of mind moderately and prudently.
Any overemphasis of any element would arouse my caution and be suppressed. What I want to present is a complicate yet artless picture in which various elements entangle and counteract each other, coexist, and cancel out. So that in a system full of complexities and pluralities the art of painting moves forward and shapes it.
I don't think that style should be pursued and emphasized too much. In my point of view, style is a result of a struggle between the repetitive self-exploring inwardly and self-redefining against the world outwardly, and of insistence in light of self-doubt and self-affirmation. It is a natural revelation of personal quality.
The appearance of the paintings seems mediocre, prosaic, and yet a little bit strange. It is a shell I deliberately produced. Hopefully some idiosyncrasies would reveal themselves through the shell, naturally and surprisingly.

在2013至2014年的绘画实践过程中，我将绘画所包含的各个技术要素（造型、色彩、结构、空间、透视、笔触等）进行渐次拆解，并重新审视、怀疑及再重建。并在这一复杂、艰涩的过程中，倾注了对自我的不断审视与苛责，以及对个人气质、心绪节制、审慎的表达。
其中任何一个因素在画面里的的过度强调都会使我警觉并压制，我想显现的是一种不同因素相互纠结、拉扯、共生、抵消的复杂而又单纯的画面，使绘画在一个充满复杂性与多样性的系统中推进与呈现。
对于风格，我并不认同一味地追寻与强调。我认为风格是在向内心的维度中反复探寻自我和向外在的参照系中不断重新定义自我的一种挣扎，以及不断怀疑再确定后的一种坚持，是自然流露的个人禀性使然。
这种看似庸常、平淡却有一丝异恙的绘画面貌是我有意为之的外壳，希望在层层外壳的包藏下不经意渗透的出的某些特质就可以让人惊喜。
