8th. solo exhibition (2026)
In this series, the subject matter does not present themselves in a normal and complete form.
It can be a deformed mountain, a detail of a rock, flowing water, rising air, or a mountain range pieced together haphazardly.
By deconstructing and reconstructing all possible elements, a new image emerges, a unique image that seems unfamiliar yet possesses a certain recognizability.
As these unfamiliar new shapes become more and more mature, a style emerges.
Therefore, it's unnecessary to be overly obsessed with pursuing a style from the beginning,
because style will appear on its own.
Lines
Lines are a key element in shaping style (Point and Line to Plane: the formal elements of planar composition).
I've always seriously explored lines, for me, they are the foundation of a painting. The movement of lines is also an element in creating an atmosphere, they can be used to convey emotions and create space.
The use of lines isn't limited to drawing, it's equally important in painting; therefore, it's not hard to find traces of lines throughout my works. I've always strived to study lines that can express my inner feelings, this is extremely important to me. To me, a poorly executed lines can make the entire painting lose its soul and its central focus.
The four paintings in "Flying Dragon in the Sky" series, the connection of fluidity, cohesive and dynamic lines that I use form a movement of rhythm, complementary with the flow of the negative space, this movement of form and space can direct the viewer's eye, it result in a unique visual mood.
Occupying a large central area in these four paintings is a large-scale shape composed of pure lines, a shape made up of numerous lines with diverse characteristics. These lines combine the expressive techniques of Chinese ink painting with the skillful use of grayscale, constantly creating, balancing, and making choices during the painting process, until an unexpected shape gradually emerges.
Attitude
The philosophical concept of "be like water" is not merely a literal translation, but more of an attitude.
It is an attitude of "overthrowing" in creative processes, not dwelling on or clinging to existing knowledge and experience.
Yet, don't try to rigidly confront obstacles; be flexible, adaptable, and unconstrained. This way, one can more naturally and freely create a completely new and unique image.
In my creative process, I completely follow my present state of mind and am willing to accept change. I enjoy the feeling of moving forward throughout the creative process and this is what it means to "be like water".
Simply to say the concept of "unbounded" is: "nothing is actually that important".

在这个系列，题材没有以一个正常完整的样子出现。
它可以是变形的山体，石头的局部，流动的水，上升的气，或者是随意拼凑的山脉。
通过对所有可能元素的拆解与重组，最终一个新的型象产生，
这种独特的型像，它看似陌生，却又具有一定的辨识度。
随着这些陌生的新造型日趋成熟，一种风格逐渐形成。
所以在创作中，从一开始就不必过于执着于追求某种风格，
因为风格这东西它是会自然而然地出现。
线条
线条是构成风格的一个关键要素，（点线面：平面构成的形态要素）。
对于线条我一直都有着很认真的探索，它们是绘画的基础；
线条的运动也是营造氛围的元素，它可用于传达情绪和创造空间。
线条的运用不仅限于素描，它在绘画中也同样重要。
因此在我的画作里，不难发现到处都有线的痕迹，一直以来我都在努力寻找可以抒发我内心的线条，
这对我来说极其重要，在我看来，线条绘制得不好会让整幅画失去灵魂，没有主心骨。
在这个系列里的那四幅画作“飞龙在天”，我运用流畅、连贯且动感的线条，形成一种韵律感，与负空间的流动相得益彰，这种形式和空间的流动可以引导观者的视线，从而营造出独特的视觉氛围。而占这四幅画中心大面积的是一个由纯线条构成的造型，一个由许许多多不同个性线条构成的造型，这种线条结合了水墨画的线条表现法，灰度的巧妙运用，在画的过程不断的创造，平衡，舍取，最终一个意想不到的形状逐渐显现出来。
态度
那个“如水般”的哲学理念，并非仅仅是字面上的直译，更多的是一种态度。
这是一种在创作过程中所体现的“颠覆”态度，不拘泥于或执着于现有的知识和经验之中。
然而，不要试图僵化地对抗障碍，要灵活变通，不受束缚，这样会更自然更自由的创造出一个全新的、独特的形象。
在我的创作过程中，我完全顺应当下的心境，并愿意接受改变。我享受在创作过程中有一种不断前进的感觉，这就是”如水般”所体现的含义。
简单来说，“无界”这一概念的核心含义其实就是：“实际上，没有什么是真正至关重要的。”
