Wallflowers
Oil on canvas, 40 x 30 in x 3, 2024
This triptych presents three distinct constructions of painting, transitioning from memory to self-reflection and imagination. The central piece depicts a concrete subject—a piece of PVC plastic waste intertwined with blooming flowers. The underlayer of the painting incorporates PVC, a discarded material with deep personal significance for the artist. The flowers growing atop the plastic form a stark contrast, connecting the two objects through a casual yet evocative relationship. The plastic waste, tied to memories of the artist's family factory, reflects themes of "waste" and "circulation." As technology advances, this type of waste will no longer exist, but its shapes and textures remain etched in memory, serving as a reminder of industrial failure and transformation.The left painting portrays a deteriorating wall, expressing the artist's inner world of shyness and isolation. The right painting explores the mysteries of the cosmos, with vibrant, saturated stripes evoking the speed of space travel and the allure of imagination. Through this triptych, viewers are invited to reflect on their own journeys—navigating themes of memory, identity, and the ever-evolving relationship between past and future.
What I want to express in this work is the relationship between two or several generations. The plastic waste in the picture was produced in my family's factory. It was originally used to make ceilings, but due to technical reasons, it became fragile and twisted. With twisted forms, their only purpose is to be recycled into powder to continue to wait to be produced into ceilings or turned into scrap again. To a certain extent, it even possesses some characteristics of Baroque art - curves and swirling shapes, complex and changeable details, and asymmetrical shapes. They are the shapes of failure. This is the most elegant and gorgeous piece of trash I have ever seen. Now this was ten years ago, the factory has closed, the technology has become obsolete, and the current technology is already outdated. It has been upgraded and progressed, and it will no longer produce waste in this form. It only exists in my computer in the form of a photo, which is a bit metaphorical. comes from the name of Jacob Dylan's band, and even though I do not like his music, the name is poetic. It has a metaphorical meaning of being unsociable and shy. Because of the language barrier, now I only have a small social and emotional space, which can be seen from the distance between the still life and the wall. The work is a triptych. The acidic-colored stripes emulate the speed of traveling through space and the magic and confusion of imagination. They are influenced by movies 2001: A Space Odyssey and Interstellar. This is my imagination about ancient Chinese magic of teleportation..
